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.
I don't get the Disney love fest seriously.
All I remember was being hot all the time and could care less about the robots.
Going to the parks afterwards was nice and all but our old lead teacher was right: the FIRST championships at Disney is more about Disney than is about FIRST.
We need to be somewhere where FIRST is the main focus not a side attraction in an amusement park.
