The very minimum to see is at least 1 scoring object, a section of the field structure that shows people all they need to know what its like, and a Live feed of the kickoff broadcast.

For example, the 2003 season, you really only need 1/3 of the ramp, or maybe a full one providing 3 teams are each willing to pay for a 1/3 of the ramp... And a bunch of bins. If you think about the 02 season, the things that need to be there are the goals and soccer balls.

I think if you talk to the teams before hand, and let them know approximately what the cost is (but not what the objects are), then you can get enough teams who are willing to take the pieces home and pay the cost for making them. That will probably off set the cost for the local FIRST groups enough to be able to afford remote kickoffs.

Then all you really need is a place with interenet, a big projection screen with a projector, and enough seats. Most colleges should have at least that much. Would be very easy for them to open a big room up Saturday morning to do this.


Also, if teams are worrying about breakfasts... the local teams could arrange to go get breakfast after the kickoff together, and it will give them a chance to digest the game.
