Re: Future Championship Location?

Well, I've been to Championships when they were are Epcot, Houston, Atlanta, and now at St. Louis. Out of all of those places, I'll take St. Louis, hands down. I hope FIRST & the city of St. Louis work out a long term deal to stay there.

Speaking for myself only...

The event venue is just as good(better in some respects, not so much in others) when compared setup in Atlanta. The Dome in St. Louis is slightly larger than the one in Atlanta. I disliked the long 10 minute walk from the PITS to the Dome in Atlanta.

St. Louis is centrally located in the US. I live near 2 major airports and it's easier & cheaper to get to St. Louis, than it is to get to Minneapolis or Indiana.

St. Louis is a more friendly, helpful city.
Completely my own personal objective view point.

St. Louis is cheaper than Disney or Atlanta.
This includes Air Fare, Hotel Rates, Food prices.

St. Louis has lots to see and do, more than Atlanta, and most of it is FREE.
For examples...
FREE - St. Louis Zoo on par with the Bronx Zoo, or San Diego Zoo
FREE - St. Louis Science Center
FREE - St. Louis Art Museum
FREE - St. Louis History Museum
FREE - Monetary Museum (Washington University IIRC).

The Metro System, buy a weekly pass for $23.50 go anywhere you want as much as you want. I did all the site seeing above without a car, using the Metro system.
