So I have always wondered, why is it that regionals like this one get really cool lighting and such? I wish the ones I went to got even just the lighting from above. Is this a FIRST thing, or a event planing committee thing? Oh so cool.

I believe it is the planning committee, Boston benefits greatly from a fantastic planning committee and great sponsors.

LED Displays are at all regionals too my knowledge this year - I think FIRST is starting to steer clear of the blue banner lists of sponsors since their are so many. They find it to be easier to do a PPT presentation of all the sponsors and loop it on 2 displays .

If anything Boston seems to always have those colored FIRST Logos that I don't see at any other regional. Aside from that the lighting also seems to be the same from regional to regional (Blue / Red / White Rotating Lights/thingamabobs)

All those colors are done using moving lights... which are set up for tomorrows festivities if im not mistaken... i dont remember seeing those lights there in previous years.


As for the LED guys up on the concourse.... why didnt they do a display on the truss that is up over the field? that would have been a great promotional thing for themselves and make the field look even sicker.
