The newly announced footprint of the 2015 FIRST World Championships in St. Louis. FRC will remain in the Edward Jones Dome, while FLL will be moving across the street to the Renaissance Grand Hotel, and FTC and JFLL will be moving to Union Station. The red line is what seems to be the easiest route to take between Union Station at the Renaissance/Dome, and the yellow line is about 1 mile, as-the-crow-flies from the entrance to the Dome to the middle of Union Station.

CENTURIONWell I can't say I'm super happy with this idea.
I feel like FTC always seems to take a backseat because everyone just sees it as "FRC lite". Moving it to a whole other building, and out of the dome, will really take something away from the experience I think. And as much as I love FTC, I feel it already leaves something to be desired in the "inspiration" category.
It kind of feels like the other programs have been "downgraded".
Though maybe that's a little hasty of me.

HallryThere's already a thread about this announcement here, I just uploaded this image to Chief Delphi so it would be more easily viewed.

bduddyI feel like this image is a lot more relevant:

6-minute train ride, every 10 minutes. Obviously it's not the same as being in the same building, but it's no mile-long walk.
