I personally like Fri-Sun events, but I understand many teams don't (1519 also only has two possible events since they don't compete on Sunday's).
I am excited to hear about how the new venue at Bedford High School works out. And there are still many of the old venues back from last year that this isn't the worst possible scenario. But not having any events in four of the best NE venues (BU, NU, Verizon, Hartford's arena) stinks and only have two events that aren't fri-sun isn't great.
Then again it's still better than not being in districts at all.

Upside to Revere is that one of the biggest costs teams always had about BU/NEU was cost of parking is no longer an issue.
And, while the venue is definitely not as ... as something, I'm not really sure the word, maybe, nice? It does meet the requirements for a district event quite well and may even improve on team experience by decreasing costs for teams.
