Re: The ideal place for the FRC Championships?
If you like Disney but don't like Orlando, how about Anaheim? They have huge convention centers there right next to Disneyland, and the Angel's baseball stadium's not far either. I'd love to have another excuse to go to Disneyland. Hm... I think I'll start planning my next visit right now...
If not there, then Chicago. Soldier Field (where 'da Bears play) is right next door to 3 museums (Shedd Aquarium, Field Museum, and the Adler Planetarium), a beautiful lake and skyline view, and the Hancock Convention Center. I think it would be the perfect location, and that has nothing to do with the fact I was born there. It just is, ya know, perfect. Downtown Chicago is also a whole lot nicer than downtown Atlanta. Navy Pier alone has more places to eat and shop than that crumby Underground Atlanta, and it also has a ferris wheel. Take that Atlanta. Who wouldn't want to have a robotics competition in the best city on Earth?
