3) No one is seriously going to make flight or hotel arrangements until it is official, and the longer we wait the less time we have to find good airline deals (unless FIRST does somehow make a deal with the airlines as was rumored).

Until FIRST announces the location and date, anyone booking flights or hotels not only risk getting the date or location wrong, they will also drive up the price for the hotel or flights making the FIRST package more expensive than it needed to be.
And the people are just anxious because they want to get started on the booking as soon as possible. No one want to wait till the last minute. The earlier you get these out of the way, the more time you have to stress on other things. And besides, the sooner all of us know where/when/how expensive, all the teams will have to start discussing travel arrangement and who gets to go, how much its going to cost, etc.
Rumors I heard from my sources is that they are working on getting the FIRST package done, and registration system figured out so everything can go as smoothly as possible. Have faith
. Just wait till Friday and see what happens.
