Having just spent 4 days demoing FIRST programs in the new Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford at two conventions, I have to say that this is the most beautiful venue - well worth a trip to the northeast... No more dragging toolboxes through the mud and snow! No more watching the screen to see how your team is doing because you're too short (like me) to see the action on the stage! Queuing should be improved. The public should be able to enter without going through the pits. Easy on and off two interstate highways. Hope to see lots of you in March at the new venue for the UTC New England Regional!
