This is the main entrance of the Jacobs Javits Convention Center on the west side of th New York City.
This is the second year we are holding the NYC Regional on this site.
FTC and FLL is also being run this weekend!

As I was exiting Friday evening, I turned around and could not resist taking this shot.

This picture (while really cool) serves no justice as to how massive the building is, or how contagious the event was. It was one of the loudest regionals I've seen all year, and the NYC crew did a great job of stepping up the enthusiasm in the arena to match the competitors spirit!

Awesome regional NYC!

I hope to come back next year in some form or another!

You can volunteer with us anytime!
(It is nice to see CD/FIRST friends)

The bar has already been raised to 80 teams and two fields fo 2009 so we will need all the help we can find.

This was the most awesome area to play frisbee. That iis until we were kicked out.
About Dean's HW
Wasn't his HW to double the amount of NYC teams from 41 to 82? That would make it all NYC teams or increase the regional to 100+ teams.

Dean said something along the lines of 80 NYC teams, and eventually a team in every high school. I have confidence that we can pull it off, there are plenty of untapped markets out there and Javits certainly has the space for expansion.

He also said FIRST would change whatever necessary to accommodate the new teams.
