Re: Championship 2008 - Atlanta - Your Thoughts Please
One that Kathie Kentfield reminded me of: media badges.
Now, I've had a media badge for the past two years, and they are quite necessary for many things. However, I see many media-badged people who don't seem to be in the act of creating media.
My solution: people badged as media should have to show some kind of equipment in addition to their badge in order to gain access to controlled areas (queueing and the Dome floor come to mind). Exactly what kind of equipment is not important--point-and-shoot cameras are just as welcome as bajillion-dollar HD video cameras--but you'd have a hard time convincing me that you need to be on the floor as a media rep when you have no method of recording that which is around you.

If you spend the money on a new stadium, you might make a profit. If you spend the money on upgrading school lab facilities, you might inspire someone to make a vaccine for HIV. - nathanww [more]
