Re: Championships location from 07 and onwards
Weather should not be the deciding factor. It canchange too much. If its cold, its just something that will have to be dealt with at the venue. Its not like the competition takes place outside.
Example:
It was 80F in Atlanta one day, then 50F the next. I was so cold at the team party that me and and a group of team members ventured to The Omni hot tub. In Detroit, It was pretty warm (mid-70F) before completion. The sunday after, I flew home to 6 inches of snow.
Price should be a deciding factor. Personally, I thought Atlanta was really expensive, atleast food and stuff was. The Omni was priced decently for a hotel of its type. Plane tickets from my area were also reasonably priced.
Personally, I'd like to see Championships in Chicago or on the West Coast (San Fransisco for instanc). Even New York City would be a pretty cool place to go. (I know venues capable of hosting this event probably aren't available in the cities i like though).
I think it would be cool if FIRST presented a list of possible venues and allowed everyone to vote, and then they would have an idea of where the general FIRST population would like to have competition.
