Thumbs up Leave Orlando

I for one truly want the championship moved elsewhere. This really had to be a no-brainer for FIRST, since as costs of attending the national increase, the number of teams that can attend decrease. That simple fact stands against FIRST's mission to reach all students. While you could argue that a team can attend just a regional, I think all teams should have the opportunity to participate in the excitement of the national.

That being said, where could this year's championship wind up. The way i see it, there's two requirements, a giant empty parking lot and a lot of hotels nearby. The latter of the two requirements lead me to believe it would have to be in a major city. While I'd love to have a hometown national in NYC, having an outdoor field here would be tough, since April can still be a little chilly here. But I have this strange feeling we might end up in Washington DC. Theres a lot more media centered in DC, then in the swampland of FL, so I think media coverage would be greater, which seems to be a big concern to FIRST in all their writings as of late.

Now's the time for FIRST to say goodbye
