I've been to the majority of Regionals in Canada and the venue I like the most is the University of Waterloo.

They have the pits in the same large gymnasium as the field, separated by the giant projection screen, making the walk between the stands and the pits very short. They have loading doors right into the pit area. The food court is maybe a minute walk away from the gym.

The loading area is in a small parking lot, which can be problematic, but is the only issue I have with the venue.

All around, a great venue with a very helpful and supportive group of volunteers who do a great job every year!

If I'm putting in my two cents for favourite Champs venue, having only been to two (Atlanta & St. Louis), I'd have to choose St. Louis. Better loading, shorter walking distances, shorter robot commutes to the field, and better selection of food around downtown.
