With the new regional set up there was lots of room left in the main arena floor. I think that with a bit of re-arrangement to fit some more teams in the new pit area and possibly opening a second large room for pits, the coliseum could easily house a super-regional with 2 fields.

...of course I'd also love to see a 2nd regional pop up in Northern or Southern Arizona instead, so single regional teams could choose between them and better financed ones would have another option for Regionals within easy driving distance.

I forgot to mention in my previous post as well, congratulations to 842 on their 4th straight Chairman's Award! Hearing their impressive list of accomplishments for the year, I think this may be their year to take home the grand prize at the Championships.
