I have a few thoughts from attending this TOC show as well. As I had a seat right on the aisle, in row 20, which was about half-way up, it was unfortunate to see so many senior citizens struggling to get up the steps. Why do they, or the people in their party, insist on purchasing seats that clearly are too high up for them to attempt? I had to realize this years ago when taking my mom to shows. Yes, it's much louder down low, but there is the added benefit of seeing the emotion on the kids' faces.
The bathroom was like a dungeon, no moving air whatsoever, which can't be helped by the show coordinators but include me in the vote to move the show to DeKalb! Boylan is way too uncomfortable. Both Rockford and Middleton, WI, need to consider larger venues so they can sell more tickets. It's so interesting that Lucas Oil is way too big for a finals crowd, and then these two stadiums are way too small.
