Re: Off-Season In Canada

Canada going districts, eventually, could mean you have a field there for most of the year to draw from instead of shelling out massive amounts of money. Even if FRC Canada charges you, it surely won't be as much as shipping it from Manchester or Indiana.
Just an idea, as I have no contact with the people who would make this decision and have no knowledge of the logistics/rules involved, but depending on where this hypothetical off season event is maybe there is the possibility of bringing in one of the Michigan fields? That could maybe cut down costs. Just something to look at.
