Re: FIRST Championship Housing Available
If you do not secure hotel rooms when they first are available, you will not be able to walk to the dome.

The travel situation in St. Louis is a great lesson in opportunity cost for students. You might lose a $500 deposit on a $250pp bus, but if you don't secure the bus with the deposit, you could be looking at $750pp flights.

<rant>St. Louis hotels and airport cannot handle a 600 FRC team championship never mind an FTC and FLL championship on top of it.

I cringe at the thought of STL on Sunday leaving champs.

I really hope we have a new city for 2018 with a proper airport.</rant>
