They keep the doors locked. And you don't want to be standing around outdoors for long periods of time this time of year around here. Just ask the Bouchers.

I suppose I never really noticed the seating issue too much, being on drive team, but now that I reach back in that vast expanse I call a memory, It was really crowded and poorly set up. What if they scrapped the portable bleachers and set up the field with the long dimension next to the 107, 108, 109, 110 and 111 bleachers (refer to this, to avoid being completely lost http://www.rit.edu/~field/specialEvents_seating.php3) and Then set up the big screen opposite from them. That way, it may be a little further from the pits but then people get good seats. at the very least you could justify the field to one corner. That way, house seats would be on 2 sides. I don't know, something.

Maybe they can build new stadium for the hockey team that we can use sometime in the future =).

They built the Field house for activities such as FIRST...though having robots play hockey in Ritter Arena would be sweet.

I meant more like a arena like the Tsongas or Garden where they disassemble the hockey rink or basketball court when not in use.

Wish granted.

I can't say I have ever seen this many people this excited over some bleachers. Good luck at FLR everyone.

[rachakate]

Wow. Now if you would all just give me happy reps ... :-D

I'm looking forward to the change. I think Saturday's atmosphere is going to be fantastic!

[kevin.li.rit]

Now where are the kids going to play Frisbee and football? They're going to have to sit in stands instead. lol.

Maybe so their robot will blend in and slip by everyone's defenses as it zips around the track?!

But as far as camo goes - red camo does not easily blend in! Unless it is autumn in a stand of sugar maple trees. And since the last time I looked out, there were piles of lovely white snow on the ground, so I know it isn't fall in Rochester!
