I'm not completely quitting Brett, I just don't travel well any more so if USIC isn't too far, I'll be there. I've got two Cat 1 gyms available for quarter-motor work. I guess with the 'Dome in my back yard I got spoiled.

JP, just cause the NATS are moving doesn't mean you have to give up indoor duration!

The folks at ETSU have informed us that 40+ new banners are being installed before the upcoming basketball season. In addition, there will be a new permanent light grid over the basketball floor. They love us there, and while we have found solutions to the other challenges the site presented, these new ones are insurmountable. Our site contact is not able to offer us a contract going forward.
We've held off making this public until we were sure there were no other solutions, but I got final confirmation today.

but…
"When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us." – Alexander Graham Bell
So, let's give the minidome a respectful period of mourning – it was a fantastic site, and a lot of us have spent many a Memorial Day weekend under the formerly buzzing lights. I fought hard to keep us there, despite pressure from various angles to abandon it. But, we now have a compelling reason to find a new location, and nothing to regret about leaving the old one. We'll make this work.
Your NFFS Indoor Committee is investigating the Georgia Dome as a potential site. Big, good air, similar driving radius as Johnson City. We'll post updates as things progress.
We are also looking at Champaign IL. If you aren't already planning to, come out on Oct 13th and help us evaluate it as a potential Nats site.
Many other sites are feasible as permanent or temporary locations, too. It will be sad to leave Johnson City, but I look forward to finding something new.
