If FIRST decides Boston to be a venue sometime in the future, I only hope they wait until after the Commonwealth of Massachusetts gets their act together in respect to the "Big Dig". It's a mess in downtown now, and will be for a good while longer. If a regional was to be held in Boston itself, really, the only economical place I can think of would be the Fleet Center - which is in the HEART of all the construction happening right now with the Central Artery project. Not to mention hotels are high priced in the city, and to have enough rooms, you might have to make a decent trek south or west. If FIRST decides a MA regional needs to happen fairly soon, I'd say look at the Worcester Centrum myself
