[color=purple]Wll, as far as there being too many people to keep letting everyone go to nats. What about the number of people who attend sporting events? Most indoor arenas can hold tens of thousands of people, and the outdoor arenas can hold even more. I'm sure if the team owners are approached they will be happy to get a huge tax write-off in return for allowing FIRST to use their facillities. This may also bring the publicity from T.V. and newspapers that so many people are looking for. If one of the owners is willing to do something like this, he wants people to know about it. It could make front page news somewhere. I think I heard that the arena the Colorado Avalanche play in holds upwards of 60,000 people. That is a fairly large number. Maybe instead of making nats open to fewer teams FIRST should limit the number of people who go with a team. That would make going even more competitive. It would also eliminate groups like "The Florida Club" (which I'm sure more than one team has been plagued with. That's just 2 more cents from me.

C~ya,

Carolyn Who is rackin' up the 2 cents and might go broke one of these days.
