Re: Einstein seating: possible solution
While I can see why a lot of people would wish to have the Champs in Detroit (or other east coast locations) due to the location of many teams, I feel it would actually hurt FIRST by doing so.
I participated with FIRST in Detroit (Team 217), Florida (Team 386) and now LA (Team 294). I've been to the champs in Disney, Atlanta and now St Louis. So I've seen how a region and teams are affected by the location of events.
Having the champs in Detroit or similar would only further promote FIRST in relatively saturated regions that "get it" already. I feel there is a larger potential for FIRST growth further west and am glad to see champs in St Louis.
