Where do YOU want the championships next year? Atlanta, Vegas, Disney.....

Re: 2009 Championships
Well its already booked so does it matter? But if I had my choice I'd say Disney.

Connecticut.
It would be nice if everyone came to party in my backyard one year, rather than me going to theirs, or meeting everyone somewhere far. lol :yikes: In all seriousness though, I like Atlanta, and have yet to do everything I want to do down there, so if it were there for at least a couple more years I wouldn't mind. Then eventually Vegas. But that's only because I've never been there. But I can just go to the regional there as well, so it's kind of pointless to have the Championship Event there just because I haven't been there before. |
Re: 2009 Championships
You better add St. Louis and Indianapolis to your list.

Anyone know any more details? Would be interesting if FIRST was planning to have it elsewhere. How about Hawaii? :D |

-major international airport. -venue large enough to house both 5 full playing fields plus FTC fields. -either same or separate facility to house pits for 300+ FRC teams, 100 FTC teams, FLL teams, plus pit admin, practice fields, etc. -enough hotels in close proximity (walking distance) to house 500+ teams (students, teachers, parents, mentors) plus VIPs and staff. -enough restaurants and food places in the area to feed above mentioned people for a week. -entertainment in the area to keep teams entertained at night (ie. Georgia Aquarium, Braves games, etc). I've enjoyed all my stays in Atlanta, so I won't mind if they keep going back. A change would be nice, but considering all that Atlanta has going for them (from the list above), I don't see the need to change. |
Re: 2009 Championships
I would like to go to vegas but also disney would be nice but they have already booked it

Re: 2009 Championships
FIRST already outgrew Disney and what they could offer in terms of space, I would have loved to see it. They changed it my freshman year in FIRST, when it moved to Huston instead.

Re: 2009 Championships
This is definitely a very biased comment, but I think that Indianapolis would be a pretty logical choice (so would St. Louis). Though I liked Atlanta last year, it really isn't a very central location. By next year (I think), Indy will have a nice new stadium perfect for FIRST. The city has a nice sized International Airport, and several major interstate highways that could draw teams from any direction. Prices in Indy are not crazy high either. And...it's location is in the heart of country. It's not a giant distant from the east coast. It's right next door to Michigan, and just south of Canada. However, the West Coast is quite a ways away, but there aren't a lot of places more central. St. Louis wouldn't be bad either though.

It should also have warm weather since that is most team's preference for the beginning of spring. Remember that one of the reasons Atlanta has all these things is due to them hosting the Summer Olympics, so we are basically using their setup. Not many places have a covered stadium and convention center so close together (yes I know Indy's RCA Dome & CC would work but see my warm weather point). Anyone who went to Houston knows how well 2 stadiums work :P Disney was incredible, but everything (stadium and pit) had to be built for us every year in that parking lot. The Championship is too big for that now. The Wide World of Sports in Disney World could certainly accommodate us, but I don't see that happening for a variety of reasons including scheduling too late in their season. |

Re: 2009 Championships
Canada? I mean it would be great to see the Championships to an international event change which country its in every now and then. Then after its been to Canada, we could have it in Brazil or Isreal.
btw I don't actually see this ever happening(unless the structure of FIRST events or demographics of its teams changes dramatically). |
