Anybody have a rough idea of the typical cost for a venue? Are we talking $1,000, $10,000, or $100,000? I'd guess it's between the last two.

In 2002 I remember the WRRF looking into holding Cal Games at the San Jose State Event Center (same place the SVR is held). At that time it was ~$7,000 a day to use the venue. That may have been a discounted price, since it was an educational venture, and the venue is owned by the university, so I'm not sure.
I'm sure there's plenty of regionals held at places that are much more expensive.
