That was my thought. Indy seems to really embrace these types of things, it doesn't swallow it up like large cities, such as NYC (no offense to anyone). When I was there for the 2010 Final Four, the city embraced it, and everything was about it. I could totally see that happening with FIRST Championships.

Hm, an outdoor speedway. Sounds challenging.
Let's face it: As victims of our own success, there are not many venues that might accomodate CMP. None of the ones mentioned are 'perfect'. STL is not bad, especially for the walk from the field to the pits (for both robots and spectators) and so that's my fave so far.

Yep, that's who originally got Google Fiber, KCMO was announced a week later. For anyone who is interested here (
here) is the map. Note that the directions and time for walking is completely wrong, as it is taking the longest route possible. Frances Family Drive between the Best Western and Sporting Park would make the route 5-10 minutes tops, as it runs right to the infield of the Speedway and right next to Sporting's garage doors that can lead you to the field. Of course, like I said, this is still half jokingly, unless anyone actually wants to do it.
