That's a good point becaus I do spell it out Mall of America, but when it comes to the abbreviation I use MOA. I don't know why I just do, you're most likley right, but I am still going to have to stick with what I use.
Ok, when you spell out the name, it is Mall of America. But for abbreviation purposes, it is MOA. Google park at moa and you will see the official website has it as MOA.
Now that I live in Dayton, OH I realize how much I took the MOA forgranted... Or having a car...
Anyways, I'm sure everyone will have a good time and if you see my mom, (she's co-running foods and wearing my graduation cap from last year... at least in the morning... not sure why though) don't be afraid, she's nice... usually.
i just think its funny how you guys are like "OMG the MoA!"
seriously! whenever i go there (yeah, quite frequently - ) i'm just like "meh..." hey? did you see the new rides they're building? wtf? it looks like it has some potential...
well anyway, all the room hosts decorated the CRAP out of these rooms for tomorrow! i looked at them all! exciting! i can't wait to get there bright and early (i think before 8 AM!) WOW! pumped! go urbandale studio 2008!!!!!!!! (btw i'm one of your hosts!)

Fair enough. You use yours and I'll use mine. Now we Damon groups need to stop arguing and stick together.
Okay....when typing out the name is it Mall Of America or Mall of America? Cause I just checked their website and every time they spell it out anywhere on the website the 'of' is not capitalized, so it would seem to me that MoA would be more appropriate.
The rules of titles would indicate the of shouldn't be capitalized. At least that's the way it was when I was an editor for a company that creates technical manuals and books.

So I'm definitely on here instead of packing. We leave at 10 tomorrow! I'm stoked. Plus we get to go to the mall of America, so that wrocks. Good luck everyone!!! See you Saturday.
Lucky! We went to the MOA two years ago when we came up and it was a blast. But...our school board wasn't really in support of us missing school to go shopping, so we don't get to do that anymore. (I was disappointed, but have to agree with them.) We leave Urbandale around noon tomorrow and will check into our hotel that has an awesome water park at about 4:00'ish.
See you at the competition on Saturday. Good luck to all the competing groups.

Looks like a great competition!
MY PREDICTIONS:
GC: Urbandale (BV)
1RU: Bemidji (BC)
2RU: CR Jefferson
3RU: Bloomington Jefferson
4RU: Lincoln
5RU: Waconia
I'm not familiar with Lincoln at all but I'm sure they're great.
I think Lincoln SW could jump over Bloomington Jefferson. I also think that Urbandale will probably win best choreography as well. This should be a great competition. Best of luck to everyone.
