This is true. I wish there was more room at West Michigan. This last year was a lot better with two pit areas, but a down side is congestion at queuing.
I think that answers your question. Which regional did the top teams enter, and with which one are they sitting on the fence? The event in S.E. Michigan is naturally "better" than any in the rest of the mid-west/nation/world because more great teams come from here than any other place - by a bunch, not even close. I.E. count the number of Champions over the last five years that come from S.E. Michigan.

In fact, if Detroit would move from WSU to MCCC, then West Michigan would become the third "best" mid-west regional.

WMR is approaching an IRI level of competion even. I feel for any rookies going there but I'm also jealous of the show they'll see in those elims. Some one please webcast this for those of us that will be elsewhere!

Re: The best Regional in the Midwest 2007

Hey, easy on the rookies! We won WMR- and Lead the Alliance- in 2004!! NEVER underestimate ANY team. "Power house" reputations are nice and all but you never really know what will happen until the teams hit the field.

Re: The best Regional in the Midwest 2007

I will definitely will have to go with West Michigan, my eyes just got bigger as I went down the list. I had to look twice to belive the team list and pending list. I was thinking to myself "IRI". looking forward to this regional and it will be a blast there are many teams that are so awesome attending this event.

Re: The best Regional in the Midwest 2007

I think Western Michigan is now the best but mostly due to scheduling. When we had a Motorola Midwest regional on a stand alone weekend, that was about as good as it could get. Very few regionals have the teeth that one had at one time.
