Re: Nostalgic & Happy Moments At The World Championship In Atlanta Over the Past 7 Ye
If there is one thing I will never forget, it's the experience of walking into the Georgia Dome for the first time in 2008. Even after two regional events and one offseason of driving, nothing could prepare me for the energy and excitement I felt upon entering the Dome for the first time as a freshman to play Overdrive back then.
Also, I remember when I was down on the floor with Team 1114 Simbotics when they won their first championship in 2008. There was something magical then that I can't explain, you simply have to experience.
The city workers and hotel staff of Atlanta were always kind to me, and seemed enthusiastic to be part of hosting the FIRST Championship. I don't remember coming across somebody who worked for the city or the Marriot Marquis who was unprofessional or unkind.
Thank you Atlanta, it was fun. From your marvelous Georgia Dome, to the Georgia World Congress Center, and Centennial Olympic park, it was a hell of a lot of fun.

Success doesn't always equate to match wins. It's about the wins off the field.
