They are in the process of tearing down and building a new stadium where the Metrodome is. I think that will be done 2016 so maybe we'll be back in the discussion after that.

We have multiple venues that could hold parts of the championship event but they are all too far apart.

Minneapolis Convention Center (no stadium)

River Centre (Hockey arena is too small)

Metrodome (No space for pits)

I simply do not see a space for champs in Minneapolis, unless the new stadium is within range of the Minneapolis Convention Center.

Unfortunatly i think your right
it would be awesome if champs came to MN but i dont see the space in the twin cities. If anyone does please tell me where.

actually on second thought what about duluth at the DECC. The space is massive, if FIRST could use ALL of the halls there i bet champs could fit. hech there were two regonals there this year and they ddnt use at least two or three of the halls (where all of the curling stuff is) plus the piits were very spaced out if arranged as tightly as st louis it could probably work.

My vote goes for Duluth Champs 2015

The difficult thing about Duluth is it's so far out of the way. MSP is about 2 hours away from Duluth I don't think people want to drive from Minneapolis to Duluth, or take another plane to Duluth. Transportation would be very difficult to Duluth, if it was in the cities it would be easier.

Sadly I don't think anywhere else in Minnesota would host the Championship Event. It would be cool though with the 180 Minnesota teams.
