But really, where are 600 teams supposed to stay? We're in Collinsville, IL right now, a good 20 minutes from the venue, and the manager told me hotels out here are completely booked with robotics teams. They don't have anywhere to put their business travelers.
The airport is also worth some concern. Flights were much more expensive and harder to come by this year. Large increase in the amount of people coming in to town? Yikes! Lambert is not very big.
