The more and more I think about the idea of what to do with Nationals the more and more I realize that we're getting too big for a nationals as it's been run in the past. Basically, I don't think it matters the location, we've just gotten too big. It's no longer space but the fact that it'd be an event that was too large for FIRST or anyone else to reasonably handle. The pit was already enormous and the number of fields is quite a lot also. As for limiting nationals to a certain number of teams, it's already happened and will most likely happen in the future. Will that be fair to all teams? No but I don't think there's really a better option. We could move nationals but that doesn't solve the size problem. So basically I don't think the problem is with space but instead with the number of people. It's a different story for things like sporting events because there are only about 40 or so participants there. At a FIRST competition there are on the order of 10000 participants and that's where the differences comes into play. So basically I don't think we have a choice, as much as I hate it, to limit the size of nationals.

Matt who already felt the web hug was too big this year -- too many people he didn't know
