for 300 and some others prepared two feasts of a maximum 150 seats each is not significant unless the variable conditions of hall and kitchen were equal.

There is also the question of whether the kitchen crew is up to the
challenge of feeding larger numbers of people.  <<SNIP>>  and limited kitchen space.  <>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Another question that begs to be asked is that of geography. In Trimaris, I seem to recall the large Kingdom events being held almost excpusively in the center of the single state of that Kingdom . . . near Orlando?  In Meridies, we have issues of being spread across the gulf coast, and about a 12 to 14 hour drive from one side to the other.  Daytripping that is a bummer.  Not that it is awful; it just changes the event-going habits of people attending Kingdom events held in Georgia or Louisiana for example.  It effectively cuts the potential audience in half howver you slice it . . . and we have sites that generally limit seating to 200 on the outside and 150 to 160 usually.
