That will be soooo cool. No, literally: Cold. NJ in March is a little bit colder than, say, Hawaii. Although you'll be indoors much of the time, prepare for weather that can be from a high of 45 F to a low of 20 F - during the day. It gets colder at night.

I truly hope we have a few inches of snow for all y'all.

I second that. 1 South will become your worst nightmare during rush hour, I live on the North/South Brunswick Border just North of the area, and even just getting past the Quakerbridge area can be a nightmare. Plan extra time if you're traveling along there.

Re: 2007 New Jersey Regional

Depending on where you stay, you can probably plan a route avoiding Rt. 1, at least for the most part. Talk to whomever you decide to use for ground transportation, they probably know alternate routes, or can plan them.

Re: 2007 New Jersey Regional

202/206 take you straight to SBA, as does the Turnpike/195...there are several ways to get there...you could even take the train to the Trenton station and walk a couple blocks to the arena...although weather might make that hike a little less than desirable.

Re: 2007 New Jersey Regional

Firstly, the train station is about a mile away. But I do not reccomend walking through that part of town unless you're with a big group. Obviously, this doesn't work if you have to lug tool chests, kits of spare parts, etc.

Secondly, George is right, you can certainly take a variety of roads to get to the SBA, but I reccomend 1/129. Even with traffic, that doesn't get terribly congested. That's the way I went to SBA last year, and while about 50 cars sat at the traffic light on the other side of the street, I got in without a wait. Anyone with driving questions or hotel questions absoultely should NOT hesitate to PM me. I will be happy to help anyone I can.

Team 293 will be there, who knows what SPIKE will hold this year. Although it will be hard to top our Batman wings from last year

I can't make it cause I will be in college, but I will be at the Chesapeake Regional as a mentor I hope.
