Question Any new regionals next year?

I was just wondering if there were going to be any new regional sites next year. If so where would they possibly be. When would we find out also.

Arrow I heard about a few

I've heard that there could be a new regional in Cleveland, Ohio and possibly in St. Louis, Missouri. I've heard that Cleveland is a very strong possibility and that they would host it at the NASA place there.

I could be making this up, I'm not sure, but I think I remember hearing about another one in California. If not California I'm pretty sure there is going to be another regional on the West Coast.

Yeah, I heard about one in Seattle, Washington but not until 2003.

I was under the impression that FIRST was pushing for a regional at Seattle NEXT year (2002). I also have heard that Phoenix is another possible site. This information has come to me in a bit of a round about way but it's mostly from NASA. There's also interest in a regional in Worcesther, MA (I can finally spell!). I also believe there was talk of a regional in Toronto. I doubt we'll know how many of those are official until they announce the regional dates in September/October.

Matt who needs to talk to his contact at NASA anyway....

What?! How'd that "h" get there?! This time it was a typo and not a spelling mistake. I usually spell it as "Worchester" which Kate kindly reminds me is wrong.

Matt who needs to be able to type better....

Guessing 15...

I am guessing that there are 15.

I have heard the Cleveland rumor.

The Seattle regional is supposed to happen some time soon, but who knows when.

I suppose that there are other cities as well that are on the bubble.

I suppose also that some regionals are on the bubble the other way -- on shakey ground as to whether they will come back next year.

My guess is that 15 is as likely a number as any other.

New Regionals

I've heard Seattle and Phoenix as definite possibilities from a very reliable source(someone who was going to take a look at possible sites in those cities after nationals..) so I wouldn't be surprised if one or both of those locations had a regional next year...

Exclamation FIRST RETURNING HOME?

I HAVE HEARD TWO RUMORS FOR THE NEW ENGLAND AREA. ONE BEING THE RUMOR THAT THE WILL HOLD A REGIONAL IN WORCESTER( I HOPE I SPELLED THAT RIGHT) MA. THE PROBLEM I BELIEVE THEY HAVE IS THE PRICE OF THE VENUE. THE OTHER RUMOR WAS I THINK FIRST WANTED TO RETURN TO MANCHESTER NH. HAS ANYBODY ELSE HEARD OF THIS?

First of all try sending messages WITHOUT the caps lock key on. Secondly, as far as the Manchester, NH regional goes, I've heard rumors of it -- but all of those rumors come from people who just want a regional back in Manchester. As far as I know (and I could very easily be wrong), FIRST has never commited to ever holding a regional in Manchester again. I also don't know if they've ever really expressed interest in it either. Supposedly the convention center they're building there will be a large enough of venue but as to whether or not there's a regional there, we'll see.

Regional in Manch-Vegas

I've heard lots of talk about the regional moving back to NH, a few summers back while I was working at FIRST place I asked about it and they said it was a major possibility once the Civic Center was finished, (which by the way is huge! and pretty cool looking, all wavy and such!). Also I talked to Jeanne Shaheen at 4th of July last year and she told my team that she has requested that FIRST moves the regional back to NH once the Civic Center is finished . How could would that be, I'd get to roll out of bed and drive 10 minutes to get to the regional hehehe!

I sincerely doubt FIRST will ever move the regional out of Hartford. They may add a new regional to Manchester but the one in Hartford will most likely stay. UTC puts a good deal of money into the regional and I rather doubt they'd want it held anywhere else, as they are based in Hartford. But I guess we'll wait and see.
