Re: Location Suggestion for 2010 Championship
Weather should be a concern. As far as location I love Atlanta, however I admit bias we are only a few hours drive away. However I can comment on the three venues that I have attended the Championships. Epcot Center parking lot was great. It was held in air condidtioned tents that were close to pits and a large outdoor space that was open to the weather for the Einstien field. There were plenty of ways to get there bus, monorail or car. Houston Texas was the second one I attended. And I went by bus with the team. In my opinion it was held there only one year because it was very unsafe to load the pit area. They had an extremly long and steep ramp that led down to the floor of the pits. Not to mention the walk between the pits and the stadium for robots was a series of winding uphill ramps that were difficult to navigate going both ways. Getting there by bus or car was easy too. And Atlanta which everyone knows but not everyone loves. Atlanta is great except for the traffic it has plenty of room for the teams and is an easy walk between field and pits. Not to mention it is inside as well. Between the three I would like to see them pull off a Epcot Center type deal again or get a venue that is "Atlantaesque."
