This thread has gone so many directions, I can't remember the OP. (more coffee, time2ref???).
Oh yeah, how important are these games? Just a couple of thoughts:
When we start giving driver's licenses to 10 yr. olds, you can blame them for not showing up to the game on time.
Important to all the kids? Maybe not. I had a youth game last year. I'll never forget when I heard the coach telling this little girl she was going to play the next quarter. With a frown on her face, she said "Do I have to"?
Folding chairs. How about those "hover-rounds". You know, the motorized carts? (equipped with baskets to carry the doughnuts). Also, If I spill my coffee on the floor, does the home team get the warning for providing the doughnuts, or the visiting team for NOT providing the doughnuts.
