Nationals Location "Pool"

[Ricky Q.]

With an announcement promised for this Thursday, November 14th on the location / date of nationals lets get the bets going on where the 2003 FIRST Robotics National Championship Event will be. There is no price for this pool because there isn't one, but the winners and prizes are as follows: (All prizes will be delivered at Nationals, if you aren't there then we'll figure it out)

1st Prize: Guessing the location of the event within 10 miles of the announced location. Prize : TBD.

2nd Prize: Guessing the city that nationals will be in. Prize: My Purple and Gold Cheesehead (Multiple winnners will get something else).

3rd Prize: Guessing the State: Prize: 24 Pack of Mountain Dew.

4th Prize:Guessing the area of the country (west, southwest,southeast, midwest, east) Prize: Eleventy-Billion Dollars.

Let's get the bets rolling:

My Prediction (recently shifted by comments): Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, CA

First Prize can be some random piece of junk from my room. A toy, most likely, but maybe a piece of computer hardware.

Yah I say Epcot center. The handicap parking lot. Beuna Vista, Florida. In 2 tents and an ampitheater. On astro turf.

Reliant Stadium, Houston, Texas. I've been pulling for it for the past few weeks. Might as well make it my official opinion.

Whenever I make guesses based upon an outcome completely out of my hand, I tend to fail horribly. Usually, the most common guess ends up being the correct one. In this case, the common guess is houston, TX. However, the guess that makes the most sense can sometimes be the correct one. With that said, I am still clueless as to where the nationals will be.. the options in my mind:

-Texas: Reliant Astrodome, or Reliant Stadium
-California: Anaheim Convention Center
-Arizona?
-West Edmonton Mall?
-Florida: Walt Disney World, Universal Studios (heh..)

At the end of it all, I am going with the Reliant Astrodome@Houston, TX
