i liked the hartford regionals better. we didn't get stuck out in the tents, so our pit was fine, and i think even a little bigger than those at UTC. plus the machine shop was closer, and we use the machine shop a lot
.
i don't know what i feel about the all around seating this year. it allows for more people, but i liked the raised stage in hartford. also, the seats were a real pain to get to at UTC. that tiny little service staircase in the back near the pits was a pain. hartford just seemed more organized and better laid out.
that being said, the competitions are still a blast. i'll be going to the nationals for the first time this year, and i can't wait.
oh, and btw, has anybody thought of opening new regionals? i guess there was talk about one in boston. we will have a new convention center opening up in a year or two, but it's probably schedualed for the next ~6 years.
