FIRST® Selects St. Louis as Site of Championship from 2011 - 2013

While I knew this change was coming it is still sad for some of us in the Atlanta area, to know that the Championship event is moving to another city in 2011.

Since I first found out about First in 2004, the Championship event has been held 40 minutes from my home. I have enjoyed trying to help provide out of town team members, information about the Atlanta area to better plan and make their trip here more enjoyable.

While a few may say that there is not enough to do or see in downtown Atlanta, I think most any city would have a hard time matching what Atlanta has to offer an event like this.

I am happy for the people in the St. Louis area. Beginning in 2011, they will be able to enjoy the event close to their home and be proud of their city. I am sure everyone will enjoy visiting St. Louis from 2011-2013 and perhaps beyond. Maybe one year I might make the trip and maybe one year the Championship event will return to Atlanta.

Anyway, let's enjoy the new build season coming up, the Regional's and help make this the best Championship event ever, in Atlanta in April.
