Sweet! Now I can say that I've watched my robot on the same field that Adrian Peterson played on.

Re: [BB] Late Breaking News

The first thing I noticed was the dates, I think after this year FIRST is going back to a 6 week regional season.

or maybe we'll have a longer build season

Wow and we knew Dean was going to be in St. Louis today.

Epic fail by us watchers and predictors.

Grats St. Louis

Re: [BB] Late Breaking News

Truth be known, I was root, root, rooting for Indianapolis. I know it would be a terrific experience for everyone involved, on board, and participating. Indiana has a way of making everyone feel welcome and happy and would make it an amazing Championship.

That said, I'm from St. Louis, Missouri, and I think I can safely say that although the experience will not be Disney or Atlanta or Indianapolis or on an aircraft carrier (really - how cool would that be?!?) - St. Louis has a lot going for it as a city. They will do their best to welcome all of us and to put on a great Championship - just as Atlanta has done and Disney World has done before them. Boy - Atlanta is going to be sentimental - I've only ever known the Championship in Atlanta. Wow.

Congratulations to the cities that put in bids as serious contenders and to the folks that had to make the hard (and probably difficult) decisions. Thank you!

Jane

Good thing no one took my bet....

Saint Louis sounds like fun though! Just hope to make it one of these years.

For a brief moment, I felt as though this was the Brazil vs. Chicago tension for the olympics.

Re: [BB] Late Breaking News

And I turned down Wash U...

St. Louis wasn't what I was expecting, but I'm sure it'll be a good show. Might actually be within driving distance for 1714.

Re: [BB] Late Breaking News

I would appreciate it mightily.

All it says on the FIRST site is

The FIRST Championship games for 2011 – 2013 will be housed at the America’s Center Convention Complex in St. Louis with a total of 502,000 contiguous square feet of exhibit space in six halls, 83 meeting rooms, the 1,411 fixed-seat Ferrara Theatre, the St. Louis Executive Conference Center and The Edward Jones Dome.

A total of 21 area hotels will provide rooms for the participants.

The dates for the FIRST Championships in St. Louis, Missouri are: April 28-30, 2011; April 26-28, 2012 and April 25-27, 2013.

Heh, if you think about it, at least we've been told a few years in advance about a big change

The cool thing about the venue is the dome is literally attached to the convention center. You come out of hall 5 and you are on the floor of the dome.
