It was a little odd, when i got the email. Yet, it still is a fact. I guess there will be 5 regionals in one weekend. Correct me if i am wrong.

It has happened before, the instance I'm thinking about also regards the Pacific Northwest Regional back, but back in 2002. There are just some circumstances beyond FIRST's control...

Are you sure? If I recall correctly, 2002 was the first year there was a PNW regional and it was at the University of Washington Hec Ed Pavilion. I don't remember there being a data change.

I was originally signed up to volunteer at the event and here is an excerpt from the e-mail I received yesterday: "Thanks so much for signing up as a volunteer for the FIRST PNW Regional... I’m writing to let you know that unfortunately, due to circumstances we cannot control, the dates for the regional have changed. The FIRST PNW Regional will now be taking place one week earlier on March 10, 11, & 12. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause. If you are still able to help with the event on these new dates please reply to this email and let us know."

Originally I was going to volunteer as the event coincided with my Spring Break so that I could see my old team. However, with the change I won't be able to be there, so have fun everyone!
