Re: 2005 Regionals

Another problem why all the compeitions are close together, atleast in the Northeast, if I'm not mistaken BAE is at Contnetal Arena, UTC is at the CTnow.com Meadows Music Theatre (don't know about NYC or LI).. Those are two major facilities. In Hartford the only places are the Civic Center, which FIRST has to compete with UConn Huskies and Hartford Wolfpack to use, and the meadowlands is a major concert arena that gets some big names to sing there, so FIRST has to work around that. Contnental Arena has to work around the NETs and the Devils. Plus around the country thats NCAA Tournament time at a lot of major buildings. The timeing for these compeitions have major compeitions with facilities between the NBA, NHL, and NCAA all happening at the same time. But with all these new regionals I can see teams leaving the difficult New England/NY/NJ area. Our team is probably an average team in New England but a pretty good team elsewhere. I think a lot of teams might see it that way and a team that would compete in UTC may use the thinking "Why try to beat 175, 176, 177, 157, 237, 782, 228? When we could go to the midwest and compete with teams with a lot less exprience than those guys." I think for the next few years that might also be a reason why competion might go down a little bit.. but thats my opinion which usually isn't right.
