Re: Championships location from 07 and onwards
Has anybody plotted the geographic location of all the teams as well as the relative size of their teams over the past couple of years? Might be a good exercise to optimize the location of the nationals for the out-years.
Also, think about it from FIRST's perspective. Wouldn't you like to sign a long-term contract with one venue, with one drayage company, etc for five years? Makes a lot less headache than changing it every year.
I spoke with a guy from Disney down on the floor and he told me that FIRST is actually "too big" for a Disney Resort. Isn't that a GREAT thing....signs of success.
But I agree that a midwestern city (Memphis or St. Louis) might be a good location for a "convention" the size of FIRST Nationals. ps: FedEx hub is Memphis......get it?
