Re: Location Suggestion for 2010 Championship
i would love to say that the DC convention center would be a great place, but considering price, it probably would be a little absurd. Also if you are trying to get from the airport to the competition via train it would work to well coming from reagan because most flights to DC come through dulles. THis location as a champion ship event would only work once the dulles rail extension is completed. however concerning space, there is plenty of it. the DC regional was full with plenty of space to spare, while only using one of the centers 4 halls which can be combined into one.

All I remember was being hot all the time and could care less about the robots. Going to the parks afterwards was nice and all but our old lead teacher was right: the FIRST championships at Disney is more about Disney than is about FIRST. We need to be somewhere where FIRST is the main focus not a side attraction in an amusement park. |

I know the kids on my team had fun when FIRST was at EPCOT in '97, but FIRST wasn't always the first thing on their minds. The adults on the team saw it very differently -- several of them told me they'd rather have been there with their own families. The following year we chose to compete at the (new) Midwest Regional, rather than go back to Disney. |

I will say however that Phoenix would be an excellent location for the 2017 Championships and beyond :D Anyway if a change of scenery can be made to the Championships without compromising its quality, I'm all for it. |
