Last year's district championship had a great atmosphere and venue and almost felt as big as the FIRST Championship. It'll be difficult to recreate that in Worcester.

I'm not from New England so don't shoot me, but I think it'll be fine. FiNE seemed to have a very smooth first year (because it's run by a lot of intelligent grizzled ancients) and WPI has never put on even a mediocre event, much less a bad one. I imagine the goal is to move some money to a more needed area of the budget to help the program grow.
I think they earned a shot at it.
