Re: Sacramento Regional
well, Cal Expo is located directly across from 2 movie theaters, a mall and other stereotypical complexes. There is an amusement center place in the Cal Expo complex, (they've been bought and sold dozens of times so idk what the name is currently) and i dont know if it'll be open. Water World won't be open which is also at Cal Expo w/ go karts, laser tag, miniture golf, arcade etc. If we are lucky a gun/doll show might be going on somewhere in Cal Expo at the same time..... yay
Most things to do in Sac aren't really in Sacramento..... theres Golfland Sunsplash in roseville. There is multiple video game stores near where you guys seem to be staying/the mall. Theres a carousel in the mall. Doesn't seem like any major close/cheap attractions will be functioning though. Country Club Lanes (bowling) and Lazer tag at laser force and country club lanes both within about 10 - 15 minutes of Cal Expo. Leatherbys (home made style ice creamery which is open usually till about midnight is down the street from the mall/cal expo. We kinda just make our own fun. |

Re: Sacramento Regional
Anyone (or team) want to put arrange some team / FIRSTer get together on Thursday or Friday night? After the past few Cal Games' and SVRs we've taken 50+ FIRSTers to the local mall's food court. I think it'd be cool to do the same or somethign similar up there. I would help organize something, but I've only been to Sacramento once before (last year's regional). If someone wants to put this together we can spread the word Thursday morning at the event. Any takers for this?

Team 753 will also be there. Looking forward to a great competition (this is our first non-pacific northwest regional ever).

Re: Sacramento Regional
ok...but what about a more informal meeting at the mall near expo (i'm not from around there - does anyone know the name of the mall?)...something like "if any first team wants to hang out after the pits close, just go to the food court at the mall" ?

Re: Sacramento Regional
Country Club Lanes... 99% sur would not give us reservations for a friday night... they get pretty busy and do fill up... its a good place to hang out, but with a large crowd... Country club lanes always has its own large crowd. We would have trouble procuring many lanes. The place gets packed. THey usually have a glow bowl session around 4:30 i believe, and then that goes for a couple hours, then regular bowling, and then at 1030 another glow bowl session starts and goes till about 12-1ish am..somewhere in there. Done it many times. There are definite problems with doing that, but all things are possible.
