Well lets see I took pictures from the birds nest where Bill P was I took pictures gating and stacked shots of all the Selects plus the GVX and GV after they were placed and took the recording lap for the video. At that time the place had emptied and many were standing at the other side to watch them gait against the wall. During much of the show the stands were full. Being from the Oregon club I had many ask why there wasn't more seating. I do think the ring could have been smaller. I didn't see many handlers use the whole ring. That would have given more room on the floor to either double handling or add more seating. As the handlers and people in the breed age, I don't think we are going to need a ring that is bigger than a football field. :0) Terry Steve Grainger <hckryhillgsd@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: No Terry it were not full..I have a candid shot of Godiva in the center of the ring...in the background..where the vendors were located..the area was nearly empty. Most sat or stood on only one side of the pavilion..and that is where the trophy table was. there were a few rows of seats..many of which were empty..and a few spectators standing behind the seats. Most were there because you could see the dogs gaiting from this vantage point.Steve and I didn't buy seats..and had no problem finding plenty of empty ones to sit in.C.Grainger > [Original Message] > From: Terry Cochran > To: ; ; > Date: 6/7/2005 11:00:50 AM > Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Outdoor Nationals > > I don't know where you were looking but during the main part of the show there was standing room only.
