Its well worth staying up for. If its a clear night you will be able to walk outside and see it. If you really want a close up view its about a 45 min drive to the river. Besides....you will still be awake anyway!!!

I see there is now a new layout that shows team numbers. As you said, the pits are now in the arena and there is no practice field visible. I guess they aren't planning on anyone actually watching the matches; looks like they applied the 2/3 minimum bumper coverage rule to the stands.

Re: 2008 Florida Regional

the layout looks fairly interesting. It kinda looks like they isolated all the rookies together. I'm just glad there's no more tent-pits!!

Just like at any other event. In past years some of the pits were outside inside a big tent (Not enough room indoors). This year they are all inside the new arena.

On a different note, I like the layout of the pits.

I've never been to Disney World. *sad*
I've been to Disneyland - once. Loved it.

Gosh that sounds like fun, Dan! I'll have to try to come back in the near future!
Thank you for helping to make last year's Florida Regional so special for me. You and your team mates in 1902, all the volunteers, and the teams that participated in the regional - made it one heck of a special memory. (Arefin's pigging at the airport with Wendy still makes me smile.) The new venue should be amazing. Everyone take pictures! Lots of pictures!
