[NEFIRST] 2014 Northeastern University District

[Brandon Holley]

Set your smartphones, mark your calendars, the Northeastern University district event is set for March 28th & 29th (Fri and Sat) in Boston, MA.

I am personally extremely excited for this event as it has been a culmination of a lot of work. For those who have ever been to the Beantown Blitz, the Northeastern University district event will take place in the same venue. Matthews' Arena is the oldest functioning hockey arena in the world! It opened it's doors in 1910 and has been hosting hockey games (amongst many other events) ever since! It was the original home of the Boston Bruins and New England Whalers (now the Carolina Hurricanes). It is also considered the 'second home' of the Boston Celtics. 2014 will mark 10 years for Matthews' hosting robotics competitions too! More on Matthews' Arena

The competition is already stacking up great and there are currently only 5 open spots remaining! Plenty of old veterans and a couple rookies, including team #5000 from Hingham, MA! Here's who is coming thus far:
