I would like to extend on this.
FIRST is defiantly not at the leagues of the NBA, NFL, not even the NHL. The only way that these events are paid for are mostly by fans. We all buy tickets to see our favorite athletes compete their hearts out and hopefully to see our team win. Now I'm not sure but FIRST is trying to get its name out is it not? And every year teams are started because a few people came to a
free regional or championship event and were hooked. I want you to consider, if we tabbed one, two or even three dollars to get into the event for all spectators and tell me how many people will still come and how many people will still start teams. Of course there will be some, but the rate as of past years would have dramatically stopped.
We want MORE people in FIRST, not less people and 'cheaper' fairs for teams.
Pavan.
