Re: Location Suggestion for 2010 Championship
Since this discussion is starting up again, I feel the need to summarize what I gathered from the last one
In order to hold championship in city we need:
And we figured there are only 3 cities met this criteria
Are there any other cities we can think of to add to this list? |

OR the Tundra up in Green Bay, might be a little cold, but if we ever had an ice game it would be perfect =P

FIRST got a very sweet deal when they moved the championship to ATL but sometimes sweet things can sour, relationships get old and things get taken for granted. So you start getting a wandering eye looking for a better deal from others. Maybe that deal will be better and pull you away or maybe your current sweetheart will come to their senses and remember why they courted you in the first place. Either way FIRST wins. |

The challenge -- and certainly not something that cannot be overcome -- is in accomodating the FLL and FTC events that are held concurrently with the FRC Championship. Those programs were not represented in Walt Disney World, to my knowledge. FTC, of course, didn't exist, but FLL may have had a small presence. |

The Championship is now bigger, with a full FLL event and full FTC event. I don't foresee returning to tents. |

I can't think of a WORSE place for the event. Oakland is a terrible city. It's crime riddled, and has zero infrastructure needed to host the Championship |

Re: Location Suggestion for 2010 Championship
just throwing this out there:
FIRST should invest a whole bunch of money and build their own megacomplex that doubles as a FIRST college for people who want to be engineers or scientists. |

The relatively new (opened fall 2006) University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, AZ is the only domed football stadium in the West. It has enough internal space for pits (no need for convention center adjacent to stadium). There are a few motels within a mile away, with more likely to be built in the next couple of years. Yet, I don't think Arizona is a realistic venue. It's too far away for the eastern teams and FIRST definitely has deep roots in the east. (We west coast teams just love the three-hour time difference and five-hour flights endured for the Championship in Atlanta). ![]() |

MacAfee field is closer to San Fransisco and Oakland has really cleaned up, not to say there aren't bad areas. But MacAfee is right off the freeway outside of San Fransisco. It was more of a joke idea anyways, cause I'm a Raiders fan. |

Re: Location Suggestion for 2010 Championship
Reality Right Now: The St. Louis Regional has a new venue for 2009. It is located in the city of St. Louis on the campus of St. Louis University. Dream For The Future: A FIRST Championship event in St. Louis would be cool. There are a bunch of hotels and restaurants, the City Museum, the Cardinals, the Arch, and several other entertainment options all within an easy walk of the Dome/Convention center. |

Now if you have some constructive criticism (and not just criticism) we'll be glad to hear it and discuss it. Back on topic: Both Indy and St.Louis would be good alternatives to Atlanta, but, to be honest, unless there is a compelling reason to leave Atlanta, why would FIRST leave? |

I think Greg just forgot his sarcasm tags.

Sure there are plenty of obstacles keeping this from happening, but I do think it's in the realm of possibilities. /Aside I think the point of the post was to show that FIRST has been known to abandon their comfort zone to undertake new ventures. You may not want to hear Greg's point, but telling him not voice it because you don't like isn't helping anyone. |

Re: Location Suggestion for 2010 Championship
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!
The USF Sun Dome is the location of TNT and the local schools' graduation, and it fits that, but for 400 teams you can't even fit the pits in there. The one at UCF (still the Sun Dome) is the location of the FL regional, and again it is fit for that, and maybe the pits for the Championship, but not the whole event. |
