Curious - NJ Capacity Issues

[Wayne C.]

Hey guys-

There has always been lots of talk about changing the venue for the NJ regional. I know that there is currently a concerted effort to find a bigger, local venue. It is very unlikely that it will be at the RAC.

Last year, after the regional, a few of us distributed some information and pricing on a local convention center to FIRST central in the hopes that it would be accepted and we would move there this year. Apparently the packet was lost somewhere between the Nationals and the summer of 2001 so the NJ organizers never saw it. Such is life.

Anyway, a new proposal is in the works and hopefully the NJ organizers will in fact make the move next year.

Rutgers WILL be crowded again. Get there VERY early. Saturday will be a zoo!

Our Friday crowd will be approximately 3 x what it was in previous years and will include our entire Lego League sixth grade, visitors form corporate america who signed up to see us at the NJ Computer Festival (remember that-we showed!), and a nice chunk of our school population.


And if you can't get in at Rutgers come to----
