Hi,
I was wondering if anyone here has the address for the Great Lakes regional @ Ypsilanti next week. I need to map it out, so any ino is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Paul,
Here are directions to Bowen Field House at Eastern Michigan University.
Take I-75 to I-696 (west) toward I-275 Southbound. Continue on I-275 and exit on M-14 west toward Ann Arbor. Take the U.S. 23 south (toward Toldeo) exit off M-14, and stay on U.S. 23 until exit 37a toward Ypsilanti (just past the Huron River).
Exit onto Washtenaw road, and travel east. Continue for a few miles down Washtenaw, then turn left onto Oakwood (the entrance to EMU-there’s a sign) On Oakwood, go to the 2nd stop, turn right.
There is a parking structure ‘D’ on the right. Park here. Bowen Field House is two buildings down from parking structure ‘D’. Parking is $2.00 Thursday and Friday, no charge on Saturday. A number for public safety on campus is 734 487 1849. See you there!

To Ypsi regional participants:
The Ypsilanti regional is NOT at Bowen Fieldhouse as it was last year. It is at the EMU Convocation Center, which I believe is a new building. I don’t have a comprehensive set of directions, but it is on Hewitt (sp?) Road, off of Washtenaw. There is a Ford dealership near where you turn onto Hewitt. (can you tell I’m winging it on the drive next week? :))

This may make things more confusing, but here are the directions I
received from EMU:
If you’re traveling east on Washtenaw from highway 23 towards the EMU
Campus, you turn left onto Hogback Rd.
Hogback will curve to the right and turn into Huron River Rd.
The Convocation Center will be on your left in about a mile or two.
The Convocation Center is a metalic green building near the football
field and parking is next to the building.
Note: the Convocation Center is not part of the main campus (where Bowen
Field is located) but is about 1.5 miles west of it.

According to Events.PDF that I download from the FIRST website, the regional is at Bowen Fieldhouse. Was there an update that I missed that changed this?
