I am under the same impression. Last I knew there was a contract in place for Portland 2016. I'll be happy to return to the Coliseum and certainly hope this is still the case.

I think they should switch off every year between something more eastern (not exactly Spokane east, maybe CWU east, or still just Spokane, just somewhere east) and then go to the west side (portland/seattle, i would bet portland based on what i heard from you and Navid and some other scouring) to help make sure people get a fair chance of going.

A year ago, dates for 2015 events began to be officially posted.

2015 Events are Being Posted!
Blog Date: Wednesday, June 25, 2014 - 17:58
Event Dates
Check it out: http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprogr...egional-events
We’ve just started posting event dates and locations for which we have confirmed information. ‘Confirmed’ means either
that FIRST HQ has a signed agreement with the venue, or that District organizers have passed along to us firm
information on their events. Please keep in mind that even though we may have signed contracts with the venues,
things still can change! It’s very unlikely, but still possible. We have a few more event dates and locations ready to post,
we’ll be getting those up shortly....
...Another FRC Season is in the air! I’m getting really excited!

Will we start seeing official posts for 2016 events anytime soon?

That's straight fire.

Hopefully in the new space I would think, it's scheduled to open in January. More information.

Wow, that looks awesome. I really liked the setup they had at the 2014 Alamo Regional though, in case this doesn't pan out.

Looks like it's March 9-12 and the FTC South Super Regional is March 9-11 in the same building. Cool. (But if you have the same kids on both FTC and FRC teams, that isn't gonna work too well if the FTC team qualifies).

That's been that way at Alamo for the past several years. None of that is changing. We are just discussing which part of the convention center it will be located in, since they are finishing up renovations in January.

GTCR week 1.
GTER week 2.
North Bay week 4.
Waterloo week 5.
WEGLR week 6.

I created a spreadsheet to better visualize this year's PNW schedule changes.

*Notes: Weeks are skewed thanks to the moved kickoff date. No more Shorewood district either.
