Official FIRST Field

I am not sure what the conditions of field usage are for FIRST this year (2003), but in the past, FIRST has allowed any team who wants to borrow a complete field to do so, FREE of charge (minus the carpet). There have been a couple of conditions. The field has to be insured, but usually a corporate sponsor can pick this up in their vast insurance dealings. Also, as the field is quite large and heavy, professional shipping methods are required (i.e. you and a couple buddies can't run up to New Hampshire with a couple of pick ups and a Honda Civic with a roof rack to pick up the field).

It is an excellent idea to talk to Tammy to see what this years conditions are and what pieces are included. Talk to her early as there are only limited numbers of fields and they are reserved on a first come first served basis.

Good luck, and if you have any questions let me know. We have been borrowing the FIRST field for 5 years for Bash@theBeach

Matt
