What's going on with the Gold Medal Sponsorship for Spring Nationals? Last spring it was $75. This year it is $175. I don't understand why it would go up so much. I am having a hard time imagining what could be worth that much.
Betsy, I think it has something to do with contracts with the catering company who is doing the food (if I'm remembering correctly). Even still, that had better be some stellar food.
What concerns me more than the GMS cost this meet is the line in the meet info that says no outside food or drink is to be brought into the venue. Is that going to be enforced? For some of us, there are a very limited number of things that won't cause digestive issues during a meet, and something tells me no matter how good the catering is (and how good the other food services are) folks aren't going to be able to find the food and drinks they know they can consume without issue.
I haven't read the announcement, but does that mean no outside food brought in by other vendors or swimmers? It must be the former. There is no way swimmers aren't going to bring their own snacks and gus and whatnot. Will their be bag searches? lol
I'm bummed it's so high too because I like to get the GMS for drinks, lunch, etc. But I hadn't planned to breakfast and sleep there ...
