I heard from a reliable source that the Midwest regional will be held at Northwestern University in 2000 (just north of Chicago). I'll post more details as I get them.
Does anyone have details or locations for the additional regionals for next year?

so I've heard... the New England Regional will most likely stay in Connecticut, but it won't be at the same location (Meadows Music Theater) because it was just way to hard to watch matches and stuff..

that's what i've been told, can anyone confirm??

I would assume that UTC wants to keep the regional in CT, preferrably near Hartford. I have absolutely no info, but since this is the rumor mill, I'll throw out the three places that are at the top of my list: Gampel Pavillion at UCONN, The Hartford Civic Center, and the Hartford Armory. All 3 of these facilities are used in the winter/spring for minor league and college sports, however, so I'm not sure that they'd be available.

I've heard that there will still be a regional in CT.. But I also heard that they are bringing back a regional to Manchester -- Home of FIRST..

I've heard reasonably reliable rumors that there will be both a CT and a Manchester regional. Quite frankly I think to many NH teams teams
and many others were so angered by the move I don't see how they could not add a Manchester regional.
