Re: Championships location from 07 and onwards

What if the championship was held in Canada - Since I believe more teams come outta there then any other country involved with FIRST. That would be kewl it would be like a 10 - 15 hr drive from NYC but hey its different =)

For the past 14 years that FIRST has been in exsistance they try very very hard in getting a venue in which is cheap / has some activities that teams can do during off hours / and ensures that the area is safe to walk around by yourself or with fellow members

Championship Venue History:
2000 to 2002 - Orlando
2003 - Houston
2004 to 2006 - Atlanta

prior to those years I have no clue and doubt they're even big enough to rehold the championships there ( go back to the old venues ).
One bad thing about going outta the US; there is WAY to much going on and many of the Board of Ed Officials in different states are really bending the rules in just letting the teams go outta state, I doubt BOE will allow teams outta the country =(. Theres too much at stake and too many lawsuits that could spring up if something goes wrong.
