If you had districts in the right places with the right amount of teams, you could potentially not need very many hotels if people were able to stay at their homes and travel to the venue each day.

To echo the expense and time to get districts going, why don't you get started now to ensure that FIRST in Minnesota can continue to keep growing at a reasonable pace? It's inevitable that Minnesota will out grow the regional system (and maybe even the district system). When thinking about pursuing or not pursing this change, remember the student members. They should always be put first and the decision should ultimately benefit them.
