I think this is a load of BS... For what the package gets you, it is a very good rate. I think it is really bad that teams are being excluded from the festivities simply because they cannot afford the packages...this is simply not in the spirit of FIRST.
Does anyone know if this is FIRST's policy, or Astroworld's. It sounds to me as if Astroworld is making these requirements, and not FIRST, as this is totally contradictory to what FIRST is all about...

I don't understand why everybody is already making plans to go to the nationals. you guys must be really confident. Will the city be that clogged with FIRST ppl that there will be no hotels left unless we make reservations this far ahead? Please enlighten me.

Teams make preparations early because prices are cheaper, airfare, etc. Also, reserve now, and you are guarenteed rooms. Room in march-april, and that may not be such a definite thing

Obviously, really large issues need to be addressed, and if you feel there is a huge problem, by all means, go ahead, if you can be polite, productive, and graciously professional, address it. - Amanda Aldridge [more]
