Re: FIRST moving to Indy?

(shudders)

DK - April 1st isn't until Thursday.

On a lark, let's imagine that this is true. If FIRST were to move, Indy is not a bad place to be. The NCAA headquarters are here. The downtown athletic/convention facility is world class (NCAA final four is here about every 4 years, among other big events). Indianapolis claims to be the "amateur sports capital of the world", since Indiana has such a high focus on high school and college sports. Indy is safe, centrally located, and has a cheap housing market. Travelling in and out of Indy is very easy.

But, why put it in Indy, where only up the road about 40 miles is a city that calls itself the "City of Firsts"? That is where FIRST should re-locate. It's natural, the "City of Firsts", home of FIRST. Imagine that! What is that city, you ask? Well, that would be Kokomo, Indiana.

City of Firsts
