Concessions are TBA if they will be available at the event and if they are provided they will mainly be focused on snacks or drinks, not full lunch options.
Teams can bring food into the venue and eat at their designated tables upstairs. There will be some seating available but we suggest coaches/mentors/parents bring bag chairs to ensure there's enough room to sit.
Please plan accordingly for lunch!

We recommend pre-ordering your food by calling the restaurants in advance.
