However, now that the Colts have moved to their new stadium next door, I don't know if the new stadium has a similar setup, or what the plan is for the CC at the old RCA dome. Anyone from IN know?

As far as the CC, they are actually expanding it. We have car shows, Star Wars conventions (like you said), and the Indianapolis 500, which is no joke. The Super Bowl is also being held there in I think 2012. Indianapolis has the infrastructure, the space, and the know how to run such a large event as the FIRST championship. It is also fairly centrally located (Crossroads of America) so it would be easy to get to for almost every team other then those who have to fly. And for those folks, we just put in a new airport.

WC :cool:

Is there any word as to when they will decide on the 2010 Championship location? Disney would be awesome. Kid safe, lots of hotels, lots of media exposure for FIRST.
Win, Win, Win!

2010 is in Atlanta

For the next contract the 4 finalist are Atlanta, Indy, St Louis and Phoenix. Sorry no Disney.

It's already decided. The Georgia Dome and Georgia World Congress Center calendars show FIRST for 04/14/10 - 04/17/10.

Thanks for the quick reply!
Good luck in the off-season!

What happened to those rumors about having it in Seattle?
Many will argue that it should stay from either the Midwest area or east of it.
I say move it West and have the East Coast-side teams share the burden of the "higher" travel costs vs the West Coast-side teams over the years. :D :D

Too bad Phoenix is out..and too bad they cant alternate West-side, East-side from year to year.

When I was down on the Galileo field in Atlatna there was a representative from Indy who had a book that laid out how the event would be set up (field layout, pits...) To me it looked like he was going to make a pitch to have the event held in Indy for 2011.

I don't know how feasible it is, or if it has ever been brought up before, but why not have at Joe Louis in Detroit? You've got Cobo hall next door and the smart bus has a stop there. Has any one ever tried? Just a thought for future years.

It's not a football field, so it's probably too small...

Of the finalists, Indy and St. Louis sound the best to me. A central championship location is the best compromise for everybody. And after several years in Atlanta, I personally am ready to go somewhere new. Both cities have major airports, plenty of lodging, and large indoor venues.

Yes, time for a change of scenery and more central location. :D
