Should be a fun regional. New venue...

Don't tell 330 that! They're undefeated in that category!

We'll see how the venue change goes, I've always had mixed feelings about the coliseum; it was nice to compete in a real "stadium" of sorts and there was a ton of room (once they moved the pits into the exhibit room, was a little cramped with everything on the main floor), but the lighting was pretty abysmal and the food policies were frustrating. With a regional the size of Arizona I am a little worried about a high school arena for it, especially since high school gyms here aren't as large as other parts of the country in my experience. Hamilton is one of the biggest high schools in the state though so if anyone can host it they'd be the place to do it. If anything just think of it as being a more "intimate" regional

Looking forward to this year, my spring break finally coincides with the regional again so I'll get to see all 3 days! This will be my last year doing FIRST in Arizona so I'm going to want to see the whole thing.
