Re: Championships location from 07 and onwards
What about Texas Stadium.
Dallas is a big plane hub, just like atlanta, so it is easy to get to. and has alot of cool stuff. and this way, we can stick it in RadioShaft's face and show them what reprecussion FIRST can give for abondoning us and going to a more 7-11, best buy mix style store. You got all the advantages of Atlanta but in a more centreal location... plus acomodations look better in the downtown area and plus. with arlington and Ft. Worth, it's a tri-city area. there aren't that many teams from the Dallas area... maybe this could step it up a notch. |

Re: Championships location from 07 and onwards
Why not try put it in the state with the lowest team density? Try and promote a bit of growth? Most states probably have a stadium somewhere that's big enough.

Re: Championships location from 07 and onwards
I think St. Louis, Denver, or Washington D.C. would be good places. St. Louis and Denver are near the center of everybody. The capitol would be nice place to play in too, like the MCI Center. A national in Canada might be neat but far away.

Re: Championships location from 07 and onwards
well i doubt this would happen for a while but it would be cool to have nationals in another country like New Zeland

Re: Championships location from 07 and onwards
Boy this thread is getting alot of mileage...
Let's see. What is required to properly host a FIRST championship? You need: -A large, dome stadium ( the robots are not designed to handle the elements. Half of the team can't even design them with a functioning autonomous mode never mind weatherproofing them!). Not a basketball arena that would be OK for a regional a football stadium that can host at least five fields. - A large area adjacent to the dome stadium for the pit area, Not the stadium itself. - A good amount of hotel to host 340 teams and numerous volunteers and important people. - A nice place to host an after party (It's a big deal with FIRST. It's a big deal with us). Good weather is probably a determining factor (which is why Detroit is a no go. It's still cold and I know I ain't going outside to eat dinner if it's cold. And yes I know it got cold last year but that was a freak storm. It's actually cold at night up North because it's supposed to be) So with that in mind instead of throwing things against the wall to see if they'll stick come up with some authentic suggestions that FIRST can actually use or else why not be happy that Atlanta is actually willing to host the event and move on. |

Re: Championships location from 07 and onwards
I think NYC should be the choice, not because i'm from that area, but who doesn't want to go to Madison Square Garden, or what will be the New Yankee Stadium (2009 and later) which will have a retractable roof?

Re: Championships location from 07 and onwards
if there was a way for nats to get back to orlando, i'd be so happy.
everything is close, and there are things to do after the competition is over. anywhere is great, as long as it's FIRST....for me anyway. |

Re: Championships location from 07 and onwards
i think chicago would work well, especially if we used mcormick place convention center, but in reality any major city would be fine.

Re: Championships location from 07 and onwards
I'd like to say the staples center in LA, but the traffic down here is horrible. I live maybe 15 +-1 miles away from the Staples center and it'd be 1 hour drive. And also that'd make airfare more expensive for the east coast. I'd love to see it change every single year so teams could go and experience new places. I have never gone to Nationals (which I'm very excited about attending) but I'd love to travel, hopefully a bit cheaper. My airfare just for Atlanta was somewhere in the 440's.

You should be able to find less expensive flights. Leaving LAX Wed and leaving ATL Sun, through Travelocity, I just found round trip Airtran (non-stop), United & Americawest flights from LAX leaving late night arriving 5-6 am in ATL. This was for 6 people and the total costs including fees & taxes was $334-$347 each. If you can get more creative on your travel dates they had flights for $244 round trip. Of course arriving early morning in ATL saves you another night in a hotel. Dave Last edited by dangerousdave : 08-04-2006 at 09:53. |
