Late Breaking News
Good EveningTeams,

Stand by. Late breaking information on the location of the 2011, 2012, & 2013 FRC Championships should be available soon on the usfirst.org website. Check it out.

94 days until the 2010 Kickoff
See you there!



A new championship location starting in 2011?!?!?!? I hope it is near where I end up going to college next year!

Re: [BB] Late Breaking News
 

??? FRC Championship coming to a town near you?

Re: [BB] Late Breaking News
 

It's likely closer to a great number of teams. We outliers will remain as outliers.

Re: [BB] Late Breaking News
 

does anybody know where on the website this information will be posted?

Re: [BB] Late Breaking News
 

I'll bet $25 that it goes to Indiana.... any takers???:cool:

Re: [BB] Late Breaking News
 

I had to do a double take at your Location block. What if they Average your two locations?

Re: [BB] Late Breaking News
 

That'd probably put the Championship somewhere in Wyoming or South Dakota. That wouldn't be good for anyone. :)

Re: [BB] Late Breaking News
 

Sucker's bet. Doesn't everyone already know it's Indy if it's not Atlanta?

Re: [BB] Late Breaking News
 

Y'all come to Indy and see us, ya hear!

Re: [BB] Late Breaking News
 

Hey! You're forgetting the Colorado teams! (And the Wyoming teams, Montana teams, Nebraska teams, Idaho teams, and Utah teams, for that matter...)

Oh, and see my location...

Re: [BB] Late Breaking News
 

...Except for us... :D

Re: [BB] Late Breaking News
 

My first thought was that they were going to be held in a farmer's field in Nebraska as a cost-cutting measure....

But there have been several threads here on CD discussing possible locations. A significant limitation is the need to have large pit spaces located near a domed stadium and there are only a few locations that combine that with relatively easy air access.

But it's kind of boring to let reality restrict one's imagination... I say they've swung a deal with the US Navy to borrow an aircraft carrier for a week every year (housing, food... playing and pit space...) and will cruise up and down alternate coasts each year. We might need to pitch tents on the deck to make room for everyone... but I'd be good with that.

I would be amazed if it were in the northern half of the country (don't hate me, I'm originally NJ - VT - MI - MA). Why? Weather. Think FIRST wants to deal with flight delays for the Championships? Of course, I'd love an excuse to visit Boston and MIT...

And it didn't say "new" location. Atlanta really wants to keep this thing. (But Disney would be nice too!)

Real bets: N'Orleans or Dallas. Imagine that massive HD screen in Dallas playing the Einstein match. Goosebumps!

Re: [BB] Late Breaking News
 

Whoa, St. Louis!

Re: [BB] Late Breaking News
 

Looks like St. Louis is the winner: http://usfirst.org/aboutus/content.aspx?id=15777

Like many others, I was expecting Indianapolis.
