Re: The Future of the FIRST Championship- The FIRST Stadium
Don't kick yourself about this. It is a wonderful dream.
Put aside all of the every day fiscal issues and better uses of the money...
Just think of a huge complex dedicated to STEM education....and inspiring kids to be more than they thought they can be. A facility dedicated to showing kids that they can do ANYTHING they want with their lives.
To get the recognition by society and by government that THIS is what we should spend money on... (including the support of all the teams and students in their individual situations) That is the dream of FIRST.
Communities come together all the time and put up GIANT facilities to support their local sports teams... be they college or professional. They MAKE everyone pay for it.... good for the economy.... etc etc... they inspire kids to play sports.... but unfortunately unless you are of a specific body type or ability...you won't make any money doing it...
Their is nothing wrong with dreaming about a day when this could happen to what many of us have dedicated huge portions of our lives to.
OK maybe the nations aren't ready... first we have to build teams.... and educate.... maybe it will never come....but having the dream is important.
Thank you for proposing it.
