Re: Let's talk about traveling to the Championship.
What teams would like is a detail on the rate structure so that they can see if staying at the package hotel is a good thing for their team.

I am sure if a team has transportation ( their bus ) they can save $$ by staying a distance away. Food at events is usually high as we seen last year. $3.50 for a bottled coke is absurd.

The real question is what is the team party going to be like. If it is just a food event then there is not much draw for teams ( if on Sat. after event ) as they will be tired and ready to relax in their hotel pool.

I think each team will need to do the math to see how they can best conserve team resources and still get the flavor of the FIRST event.
