Yup...

That's what they've said, although I have no idea how that would work, considering they're a mile apart. Although we are supposed to have the Q-Line light rail up and running by then!

For the Lone Star regional, only bleachers A-L are used. The remaining area is used for pits and practice area. Not sure what their plan will be but I think you will have 3 divisions on the first floor and the remaining 3 on the 3rd floor. It would be weird though.....

Re: Championships in 2017
 
As someone from Indiana, emphasis on the fact that we have a district system, I think I really throw a different perspective into the mix. It seems that already, with Indiana being such a small district to begin with in regards to Michigan and the NE, it seems that every single event, I see the same few faces over and over again. Generally, those same few faces win the events with a few exceptions. Obviously it is not a bad thing, or even a good thing, its just a thing I guess. It would really be nice for us to be able to see some of those cool teams from Cali, TX, FL, etc. especially for those students who have never seen the Poofs or the Robowranglers play.

But, I do see the point that more people will be able to attend champs anyway from Indiana, so at least that is helped. I guess that even though only 2 or 3 more teams will be able to qualify, those few extra spots will allow for a team, who has never gone before, beat out a couple of older teams and finally go to champs again.

Oh well, I can't really make up my mind on this subject I guess...

Nope, you can make a regular left from Jefferson onto Woodward. ;)

I assume they'll have everyone load up their pits and Robots onto a few trucks, and then take them over. I kind of don't like that this will put a long(er) break between the two playoff rounds though.
