Philly is at max capacity with 46 teams (smallest capacity of any regional). It fills up with mostly local veteran teams immediately. Only 2 rookie teams registered. I expect great things from them like 2 previous Philly Rookie All-Stars, 1218 and 1391, who have grown into great teams.

Philly probably would register 50-60 if space would allow. Much like the Mid-Atlantic (New Jersey) Regional at Rutgers, it just needs a bigger venue (and it may get it with an old Coast Guard Armory). My team has made Philly their home regional and attended it ever since our rookie year (2000 - 7 years). I've been going there so long I know the most of the team names by number.

We are also happy to have some "very experienced" New England friends visiting us, 157 The Aztechs (Won it in 2002), 173 Rage (I bet Jeff had a say in that decision), 177 Bobcats (Won it in 2004). It should be a very competitive regional.
