Re: Pittsburgh and Cleveland Regionals
In general, FIRST is moving in a direction where most HS will be able to attend a local regional, and if they have the funds, also attend a larger 'area' regional, and possibly the championship.

the term 'super regional' has been tossed around for the last few years - events with 60 or 80 teams, in a city with major attractions, a great location, a big party on Friday night.

In the past, Cleveland has leaned more towards being one of the super-regionals, and pittsburgh has been more of a local regional.

I dont know if FIRST headquarters is calling the shots on these, or trying to push certain venues to max out, but since FIRST is too big for all teams to attend the championship, this is the direction we will have to take (with the eventual goal of having a FIRST team at every HS in the US).
