Agreed. I was worried about the same thing when New England went to districts, and there has been nothing to worry about. District events have that "in your face feel" many sports teams love about their arena because it's packed to the rafters. You can really feed off the crowd.

It's definitely a different experience than regionals, but nonetheless inspiring. I think the fact there's virtually all positive feedback from teams who have moved to districts (I can't think of one person who has said "I hate it, give me back regionals") says enough.
