I would guess the main reason FIRST hasn't thought about having a regional in Indiana is because no one has stepped forward to purpose one. Regionals first of all require a sponsor or sponsors. And these are big money donors (I don't remember the cost of running a regional but I believe it gets above a million dollars -- someone correct me if I'm wrong). Also, getting the space to use can also be hard as well as expensive. Stadiums don't come cheap. There also comes the issue of people to organize the regional and run it. And they also need to know they'll have a large enough base of teams to support the regional and not take away from other regionals.

Matt who for some odd reason knows too much about starting a regional......
