So one Albany one Rochester and one Syracuse?

They are only 147 new york teams base on this http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...highlight=5030.
With about 50 of them being from upstate at least. If you look at all the teams attending just one regional, yes a lot are from NYC or Long Island because this year became harder to attend second regionals with the influx of out of state teams. So holding districts would help lots of teams but we can not just ignore that up past the city has a lot of teams that do pretty well each year.
Also basing upon upstate has stronger teams but that may be since most compete at 2 regionals so they have time to improve. We don't need to argue which area is better but agree upon that the district model would help out a lot of teams, if not all to show off how much they can do. As well as provide a team with well deserved awards.

My question now is how big of a gym is needed for an average sized district? Does anyone know how much seating and floor space is recommended?
