What do you want to see in a regional's web site?

I recall there being a thread asking teams what they wanted in a regional website in the past here on CD, but I can't seem to find it. (I searched both the Regional Competitions section and the General Forum for about fifteen different terms, and found nothing going back to the 2005 build season.)

I've been approached to help out with the website of the Palmetto Regional. They're also planning to expand the site's FLL section, and add sections for FVC, Project Lead The Way, and the College of Engineering and Information Technology's outreach programs. (Did you know that they're in charge of the University's annual Tiger Burn, held the night before the Clemson game? I didn't until this year.)

So as the powers that be of FRC, FLL, or FVC teams, what do you like to see in a regional web site? Information on past events? Local information? Team Social information? Something else?

Additionally, what would be helpful to you as a local FRC, FLL, or FVC team? (Local might be the wrong term for it, as the site is aimed at the whole state, but when the University is three hours away from the furthest point in the state, we can get everyone together for the important parts.)
