Additionally, the facility held a 60 team, two day event only 4 months ago. The venue seating is likely large enough, and there is ample hotel space within 15 minutes of WPI.

Can you elaborate on how you think the facility would not be able to hold the event? What specifically do you think would make the facility unable to accommodate a DCMP?
The big kicker for me is that we're moving from a D1 hockey arena of one of the top hockey schools in the country to a D3 basketball court at a school not known for its sports. Now, I haven't been to WPI for a robotics event (but I have been in the gym) but I just can't imagine an event there feeling as large as BU (of course however, that brings up another debate about what makes a good event/"big" event).

In regards to pits, is there a pitmap for Battlecry this year? I was only able to find the pit map for the district, and even that looked tight(of course, I'll gladly be proven wrong with a different layout).
