What teams think they might attend the Boston Regional

[tckma]

Has a venue been decided yet? A Boston regional is a great idea, but where? I was under the impression that our first pick this year was going to be Manchester, and if a Boston regional was announced we'd consider it.

We're having our first meeting of the season next week so I'll bring it up.

The regional will be held at Boston University's Agganis Arena. The Regional information is posted on the FIRST website.

Thanks! They were building that arena while I was in grad school at BU (2002-2003), and it looks like it will be a decent sized venue. I haven't seen the completed building yet.

I'll definitely be mentioning it.

The regional only has a cpacity of 25 teams (making it one of the two smallest). It will be interesting to see which teams will choose it over Manchester.

Well, team 246, being the Boston University team, will be going to the Boston regional.

We might go to Manchester too, but it doesn't look too likely.

I go to school on the BU campus just down the street from aganis arena, and can say that it is *very* nice, and brand new, and shiney. If anyone has *any* questions, feel free to ask me, here or via email, about anything - resources, food, etc.

As one may assume, I am *very* excited.

The Boston Regional has an open capacity of 25 teams because a large number of the slots are reserved for local rookie teams (which are MANY!) Wait-listed teams may be able to attend later on when all the Worcester & Boston rookie teams have registered for the event.

I am the volunteer coordinator, and I need AWESOME volunteers for the Boston Regional (including key positions). If you are interested in volunteering, please email or PM me (because VIMS isn't up yet).

If you think I worked hard to make the Beantown Blitz a well-run and exciting event, wait until you see the Boston Regional!


Thanks!!!

I know my team, 176, there are alot of people wanting to go to Boston, but Manchester was our first choice, but if it fills up i think we'll make a very good attempt at going to Boston. Also it would be rather closer for us! Hope to see some of you all there.

We're not competing at the Boston regional but some of us want to go anyways and just cheer all the other teams on.

I know I'd like my team to go to the Boston Regional. The size should be a lot of fun for the teams that do go and besides Boston is a really nice city.

Last time i checked here it showed 10 rookie teams are going to be attending the 30 team event, and theres 9 spots left still! So there will be a lot of enthusiasm and everyone will have a great time. 1403 will be there, as well many other teams too so it should be a great inaugural competition.

Team 97 is signed up and ready to go!
See you there!
