Two things i know and recall....

One....I've heard that when the National Capitol district is set up that
because of Virginia First's long ties to VCU that supposedly the Seigel
Center will be the site of the district Championship. Also...if you look
at the schedule for the Seigel Center for next year they already list the
dates for the Virginia regional as being confirmed. The dates given indicate
days needed for a regional since a regional takes a day longer to set up
and hold compared to a district event.

Two....When we attended the Chesapeake regional this year it was
mentioned that the Chesapeake regional would be held at the Comcast
Center for the next three years (not sure if it included this year) I think
this was worked out thru the Dean of U of M's Engineering school.
So the Comcast center will be used for either a district or regional
for a couple more years.

On another note....the move of both the DC and Chesapeake regionals
may indicate a early move to district type venues...but thats just
speculation on my part.
