Ex. the New Jersey Regional now will take place at the Sovereign Bank Arena and the Chesapeake Regional has accomodated for 54 teams this year. Could these "Mega-regionals" be the answer?

The Sovereign Bank Arena may not be a long term site, JNJ regional HAD to move because Rugers university didn't won't to give up their new basketball arena to FIRST in 2004. Rugers is hoping for a NCAA spot in 2004.
I wouldn't be surprise if JNJ Regional move again in 2005. Sovereign Bank Arena is a very expensive site to rent and it is in a "not so nice" area of town. (and this is coming from a Brooklyn person!)

Gracious professionalism is competing with a team one minute, and helping them fix their robot the next. It is cheering for FIRST, rather than just your team, and most importantly: it is looking at the future and saying, "Together, we can do that" - WakeZero [more]
