I really like the renting hotel idea. The best thing about regionals in my mind was meeting all of the new people at night, in the pool or around the hotel. In Houston, out pool was broken (freezing!), and they had nowhere else for us to go. What did we do? We played wiffle ball in the parking lot and we hung out at Big Lots...... There was nowhere to go to meet new people... I'd like to see a group of hotels within walking distance of each other, if possible.
Here's an idea.... maybe not a good one, but an idea none the less. What is FIRST raised the entry fee for championship to include x number of hotel rooms and the other "perks" that went along with the packages of last year.

If teams choose not to take advantage of this option they can just pay the $4,000 entry fee and stay in the same general area as the rest of the teams. By paying a very small fee they can take part in the same events as the other teams.

This would not only allow teams to be placed in hotels that are reletivly close to each other but also drive down the cost per room because of the volume of rooms that would be rented. Thus making social gatherings easier to plan and easing some of the burdens of travel planning.

Well its just a thought to play with (note: I never said it was a good idea), maybe this will spark a better idea down the road.
