: Question 7/31/00:
: If you could name an alternate place to hold the national championship, where would it be?


Key West, Marathon, Key Largo (all Florida Keys), or Puerto Rico. The Keys are small islands that would provide a small atmosphere. They're small enough that you would bump into other teams no matter where you were. We could all go snorkeling and parasailing, jet skiing, and ride motor scooters around town. There's a naval base in Key West, perhaps they could find room for us. Wouldn't it be great to have the competition right on the beach? The more I think about it, I might actually prefer Key West to Disney.

I don't think there is any place better than Disney simply because of the ease of transportation between the hotel and the event, the food, and the entertainment. Las Vegas is fun to walk around at night because of all the bright lights, but, the hotels on 'The Strip' are very expensive. Way out of the league for most teams. And the best reason against it, is no matter what anyone tells you, LV is an adult town. Gambling and escort services is about all you find there. Sure there are shows, but half of them you have to be 18 to get into, and the rest of them are like $55+ per ticket. Not to mention, if you thought kids getting into trouble at Disney (five-finger discound) was bad, wait til you get them near slot machines.
