Thank you 254 and 1868 for doing this again this year! 971 is planning on making it down again. We had a blast last year.

So lucky! I wish there was a legit big scrimmage & practice weekend here in Minnesota. There's one but it's like wood and somewhat weak practice field... last year the field like ripped apart from the impact (but I still do appreciate it very much! Better something than nothing).

Re: NASA Ames Pre-Ship Practice Weekend & Scrimmage
 

If 114 is operational by then, we sure would like to come down. I'll talk to the team and see if we'll be planning on making it!
