Just another burn on the Minneapolis idea... St. Louis's contract is up after next year. First will have to announce the location for the 2014 year not too long after then(if not at the event). I can't think of anything that could realistically hold the event here in the northeast, but I don't mind St. Louis(though FIRST feeds us volunteers, so I don't have to deal with the city and 10,000 other starving students trying to find food during an hour-long lunch break), and I wouldn't mind atlanta again. I do think that FIRST is keeping their eyes open though. I can see it heading out toward the west coast eventually(though it would make it a little more difficult for FIRST to get people/supplies to the venue), though I can't think of any good locations out there.
