I already know the answer to some of these things, so I think I'll post them and save her the trouble.

-Paying to park wasn't cool
Yes, we know about the parking situation. It was enough trouble to try to get free parking for the volunteers and VIPs organized. I'm sure something is in the works for next year, but there's only so much we can ask the AstroArena people to do.

-Could't understand the announcements
Frankly, I wasn't in the pits much at all, so I can't really comment here, but I'm sure this will be taken under advisement, and we'll try to improve the quality of annoucements next year.

-Selection of food/prices
Sorry, but there just plain isn't anything that can be done about this. Aramark has an exclusive deal with the Astrodome complex that says they're the only ones who can cater or sell food. Or something like that. I know that we couldn't get another food vendor in there if we tried. About all I can do is point you to the McDonalds just down the street.

That's about all I can really comment on. I don't know a thing about the hotel situation, or the playing field controllers, though I did watch them consistently break a round or two after they were fixed.
