It depends on if you have enough people willing to drive. Keep in mind parking will cost something. I myself would look into the cost of using school vans or if need be, buses.

The students will enjoy staying in a hotel. But its a cost vs. benefit issue.


On a sidenote, this thread could be merged with the existing Minnesota Regionals thread.
Yeah, just carpool. We did that from Plymouth and it worked out well. You can use the time in the car to discuss things without the distractions of a regional. I found it enjoyable. Hotels can be a pain money wise. Make sure you are organized either way.
