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.
I've tried to explore what options for eating might be outside of the venue via google maps. There are a couple of restaurants within walking distance but not a lot. When traveling a great distance to swim meets I must admit it's rather nice to not have to worry about at least two of your meals and snacks for each day of the trip. On the other hand, if not many people chose this option due to cost, there the fear that the catering could suffer to save on cost. I'm on the fence...
I know this might make a few eye's roll but if the organizers have the info available, perhaps they could let us know who the caterer is and what a typical menu might be. Forty plus dollars a day for Breakfast and Lunch and snacks is rather steep but I'm betting others could be sold on the idea given some perspective and the ability to weigh convenience and product versus cost...
