I really could care less where the nyc regional is held, as long as it is nyc (guess they wouldnt have the nyc regional in iowa) but i think for FIRST's sake, having an event at an Ivy League school is worth some bragging rights. I never did really feel overly welcomed at Columbia the past 2 years, and I'm hoping this new venue will have better designed robo-moving traffic routes and a larger pit area than columbia had last year. I find what was mentioned above about less teams being able to participate at the new venue puzzling, since none of the new regionals are in the metro area and more teams sign up every year. I hope FIRST didn't make this decision based on NYC schools dropping any teams.
