Don't forget, that 174 will not only be defending their title, but their three-time FLR winner title!

FLR is one of the few Week 1 regionals that provides a Week 5 experiance. About 90% of the teams have seen each other before - it's a very close FIRST family of teams and full of friendships. High energy, loads of veterens and rookies that are always better then the stigma of 'rookie'.

But it has to be the volunteers that make FLR so much fun. I have to believe that EVERY volunteer has been a student or mentor of FIRST teams, which is what I think makes FLR so much fun, expecially for volunteers.

I can't wait to have the Thunder Chickens return to the frozen tundra of Rochester! You help raise the bar and give us Rochester area teams something to aim for. And for all the teams returning, I wish you all a round of luck as this year just already feels exciting!

But the one big question...that everyone is asking...that will make or break how awesome FLR will be...is...will JonDarr Bradshaw return as game announcer?
