So what happened at the FIRST forum

[Bill Gold]

In response to food problems with either San Jose or Los Angeles... In order for FIRST to be able to use the San Jose State Event Centre or the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena they have to sign a contract which includes a stipulation that the only foods/beverages that people can consume onsite are ones purchased through the vendors in the building. Yes, they're over priced and it's a pain. But you've got to deal with it, because there's nothing FIRST can do about it. What people have done in the past, and most likely will continue to do is sneaking food into the arenas. My understanding is.. the only food that the Regional has any control over is in some cases the food at the Team Dinner.
