Okay,
First, something about sports stadiums. Most of these places have teams that inhabit them. I am hoping to see a Regional at the new Manchester Civic Center here in Manchester New Hampshire. However I was informed of a few obstacles to holding a FIRST comp @ a sports arena. Basically you have teams who inhabit them...so you have to work around a fairly regular schedule for a professional sports team. My response was "well they can break down a basketball court and have ice in the hockey wrink in just a few hours." Anyone who has assembled a FIRST field knows that this is not concieveable. Scheduling wise it isn't like FIRST is in and out in a day or even nite...they are there, setup, entrenched for 4 probably more days. There is no ticket revenue so u have to rent the place out...which cost enourmous amounts of money especially if the workforce is unionized because they have a minium amount of wages, etc. that need to be covered.
Secondly on a completely unrelated note...

The nationals was created so all FIRST team's who could afford to attend, could come together and enjoy the game, together.

My question is this to everyone who said Nationals shouldn't be limited....aren't the really already???
