Re: Qotw [11-17-02]: Manchester or remote kickoff...

Fortunately, I live close enough to Manchester that I can easily drive there for the kickoff... Although I almost killed myself doing a 360 on I-495 driving up to Manchester in the snowstorm kickoff of 2001. This will be my third time going to kickoff in Manchester. I definately think that regional kickoffs are a good idea, though. There is no reason to make people get on an airline to be able to get to kickoff. Sure, the kits can be mailed and it is not necessary to physically attend kickoff at all, but nothing beats going and meeting people from different teams. Talking to other teams about their methods & philosophies can be invaluable. Therefore, I think regional kickoffs are a good solution, since it still allows teams to get together, without the need for expensive travel costs. Of course, if you can get to Manchester, the Manchester kickoff is probably the best experience.
