You drive too slow :rolleyes: We figure about 11 hours from Detroit.

Indy on the other hand, what 5 hours easy?
Mapquest says 4, so you should be able to make it in even less that that.

Whatever. The 2010 Championship is on the GWCC calendar.

we don't agree with mapquest =P. in previous years we've had one of our mentors who litterally needed to stop every 2 hours for at least 15 minutes because of 'medical' issues or something plus lunch and/or dinner so 14 hours easily covers it. as for indy, i'd be driving and i'd probably go out a day earlier to a camp ground my family owns near angola and hang out there for the night so the 5 hours wouldn't apply anyways =)

as for building, yes i understand the cost for a FIRST HQ would be IMMENSE^10^10 and is the money is much better spent on getting the programs into other highschools, it was just a thought.

i'm up for anyplace closer than atlanta if such a chance arises =)

I got the perfect idea (for me atleast). As a huge Viking fan I know that they Vikings are looking for a new 1 billion dollar stadium that building needs to start this summer. So, why doesn't FIRST pay the 700 million that the Vikings want the general public to pay and they share it? The Vikings stay in Minnesota and the Championship is closer to me! Perfect plan.

A simple question, with a simple answer: FIRST doesn't have $700 million to spend.

Lol, yeah I know...Atleast its better than FIRST building thier own stadium like others suggested. If they did though, I won't have to replace all my things that say 'Minnesota' Vikings...

Speaking of transportation, our team(2272)might be the first team ever to flip a car on its side before we even left the parking spot. :yikes:








I love the championship in Atlanta. If it was in L.A, FIRST would hate it so much they would not even give the L.A. based teams a KOP the next year. Besides, the L.A. regional isn't even in L.A. this year.

Umm, last I checked, Atlanta was not in the middle of the country.

It's too bad you need stadium seats for an event like this. The Las Vegas Convention Center could handle it easy. Over 3,200,000 square feet.

that would be awesome, but i think they are already running "in overdrive" you could say to run what they currently have. boy, what i would do to see that though!

sorry, but they would never go out of the US, it is already a nightmare to get 2 field and a KoP to non-US teams let alone millions of dollars of electronics and 400+ teams!!
