So here it is.. All of the teams in Michigan! I thought it was a good idea to get off my computer and do some manual work for once.. Guess I was wrong. Sorry 'bout the fuzzy quality, I tried

Lisa PerezWell, there's that Michigan map I promised to make. My editor was being mean so I had to make it manually, so sorry about the bad quality.
Anyways.. doing this really made me realize how lucky I am to live in an area always alive with the FIRST spirit [I live in Macomb (that's the county kinda covered by 217 and 818) and am on teams in Oakland]. But what about the spirit in the Upper Peninsula? I think spreading the message to that area should be one of our goals for the next few years to come

It looks like only a few counties outside of metro-Detroit have teams. 
Just getting some more teams anywhere outside of the Detroit area would be pretty good.
Yet in Oakland County there are 25. Hmmm... everyone should talk to their friends from outside the area!
(Thanks for the map
)

Wow. I've known this for a long time, but the full effect only really hit me once I saw the map. Look at all the traditional "powerhouse" teams located in and around Oakland County.
27, 33, 47, 65, 66, 67, 68, 201, 217, 308, 469, 494.
That's an all-star cast and a half.

Great Map!
One minor correction: 279 isn't in Ottawa county, I think they're in the far southeast part of Michigan, probably Monroe county.

opnickcI'm surprised there are no teams up near traverse city. Of course, I guess one of the big reasons there are so many in southest michigan is because of the car industry.
If the entire country had a team density at or greater than Oakland counties', I think Dean's goal will have been achieved.

Wow, I didn't realize that Kent/Ottawa had that many teams.
MI Rocks!
