2009 Bayou Regional
 

Does anyone know where the Bayou Regional will be this year? It has been in the Morial Convention Center for the last 2 years but I had heard they were thinking about moving it to UNO Lakefront Arena to reduce the costs. I can't seem to find the actual location on the FIRST website. Anyone know where the FIRST Mardi Gras party (A.K.A. Bayou Regional) will be this year?

Did you look at the Bayou Regional Website ?

Re: 2009 Bayou Regional
 

That still has last year's date.

Re: 2009 Bayou Regional
 

Yeah but as far as I can tell the Bayou Regional website hasn't been updated since last year. I also checked the events calendar at both the Convention Center and UNO Lakefront websites but their calendars don't go out far enough to next March.

I still dunno where the Bayou Regional is this year????

Re: 2009 Bayou Regional
 

So with the event less than a week away, who's pumped for Bayou? 2815 will be making its FRC debut there, after a red-eye bus ride from Columbia. (It's only 678 miles...) Just look for the garnet. ;)

Re: 2009 Bayou Regional
 

Only 678? Billfred, you are one crazy chicken. :cool:

Re: 2009 Bayou Regional
 

456 is more than pumped! We are counting the hours till we head down on Wednesday and they just aren't going by fast enough! :D

Where is everyone staying? There aren't many hotel choices near the Lakefront Arena. 456 will be at the Marriott Residence Inn in Metairie.

See eveyone there!

Re: 2009 Bayou Regional
 

I am pumped! I was just looking at the team list and making a few notes. Not a lot of data on the rooks, but team 2992 looks interesting.

What other rookies should I look out for?

I'm still surprised that we don't see more teams making the trek down from up north. This regional is a blast every year.

Re: 2009 Bayou Regional
 

Yeah this is one of the smallest regionals. I guess with the new Dallas regional, everyone wants to go there instead. Oh well.

Thanks for the mention! :D

Can't wait to start fightin--- I mean, competing with robots again. Its been a year. Gosh.

Re: 2009 Bayou Regional
 

6801 Franklin Avenue, New Orleans, LA

And now I realize how old this thread is. :(

Oh well, maybe the OP is still reading this and doesn't know where it is.

Re: 2009 Bayou Regional
 

Anyone know whether this event will be webcasted? Robotics.nasa.gov has "TBA" for week 4.

Re: 2009 Bayou Regional
 

Yes, it is supposed to be. Go to BayouRegional.org and find the link. I'm on the road to New Orleans and don't have the link handy.

Re: 2009 Bayou Regional
 

I have to give a shout out to the rookies from SC (2815). They came to a pre-season scrimmage. Not a typical rookie.:eek:

Re: 2009 Bayou Regional
 

Thanks. For those who are too busy to run over to... uh.... another website:

It will be webcast on Friday and Saturday

will probably work as well, but that's less clear. I'm not sure how gameday works.
