Fit more people in for the seminars. Always just a handfull inside, then everyone else is stacked 5 or 6 deep around the cage. MAybe get a couple of those 2 tier bleechers and shove them up agaisnt one side. Probably double the amount of people who actually get to get inside. And still be low enough for the people outside to be able to see in.
Plan on spending the entire weekend next year, and if the crowds are anything like the crowds this year.. (or worse), I can see myself camping out at the cage for most of that time.
Just a thought too.. but how about letting some of the Forum members help out in the cage? Act as goffers, and runners to get product from behind the back for the regular animals to sell at the counter. Give them more time to talk, and take pics with the customers. I know I would be willing to put in a few hours for a t-shirt, or a little bag of packs.

The "Grand Daddy" promo winner can def help out. Didn't FORVM members help out last year? Would said members do this on a voluntary basis?

I would volunteer to help for a few hours. I even have an idea on what would happen if you worked for several hours.
1 hour=lanyard or Dog Tags
2=tshirt
3=pak
4=supp of choice
5=Hoodie like the pros were wearing at the cage
6=A version of what ever it is the pro's wear in the cage next year.

I know Rcrott worked his lil nuts off behind the counter. I would have definately helped, but aint familiar enough with the currency, would of been so slow.
A problem i found was how hard it was to get a view of the main events, like 'Big Dog' & 'J-Rock's' benching. Universal need to kick the competitors back a few yards and get more space.

Thirdeye is right on about not being able to see the main events. Although at my 5-6" height I couldn't see in the front damn row. haha
Anyway, It might be cool to get a plazma propped in the corner of the cage and hook it up to G's camera for the big events. Maybe a screen in each corner so you can see from a couple of different sides.

You know... I was just thinking about this 2 nights ago before bed (yea, my mind wanders A LOT now...) But, I was thinking about how I was there all 3 days, never really left the Cage except for about an hour on Sunday to see what the rest of the Expo had this year... ((Those of you that were there, I am sure, saw me whether you knew who I was or not...lol)) Well, I then found out WHY I didn't leave the Cage, it was the only place to be....
Anyway... I was thinking and wondering how the guys on the Forvm got to help out (I didn't know if there was a promo I missed, since I was new at the time) or if they were hand picked, or what.... Just throwing it out there, I'd be more than happy to help out whenever, however, whatever to make it easier on everyone... Would love the opportunity and SOMEONE better let me know HOW to get the chance...lol

I also helped out and volunteered a bit this year and let me tell you....just the experience of being there every day ( i just missed sunday, but ill be there all 3 days next year) and just being around all the guys was one of the greatest experiences for me, it like a big family. I'm really looking forward to being there again, you can count on me. The motivation I came back with was off the hook lol.
