Re: Location Suggestion for 2010 Championship

It doesn't have that closeness like the regionals. Let's get away from these giant 70,000 seat stadiums. You only need seating for 15,000 at the most. That's my 2cents.
In 2002 there were something like 240 teams at Epcot and the tent city setup was pretty much maxed out in that configuration. Combine that with a very small FLL presence and nonexistent FTC program, and there was room. With all the FLL/FTC teams there are now, they'd have to significantly expand the scope of the tent city, which obviously hasn't happened yet (and probably never will).
