We use pandas to concatenate coordinate variables with their data saved as a `pandas.Index` (like the `game` variable), but Pandas (and NumPy) does not have a dtype for variable-length strings, so this ends up getting converted to `dtype=object`. We could probably add something to fix the dtype back after doing the concatenation and/or concatenate string indexes with NumPy instead of pandas.
