The attendance of this regional is looking to be pretty poor so far... a lot of bands that attended last year have moved to the Toledo regional, and I haven’t found any new bands going to this one as of yet...

MFA announced the new location.
“We are excited to announce Fortress Obetz as the home of the Bands of America Central Ohio Regional Championship, presented by Yamaha. We can't wait to see everyone at this gorgeous, one of a kind stadium on September 28! #boa2019
(This will replace the originally scheduled Northeast Ohio Regional.)“

I'd bet on at least some who would otherwise attend (or have been confirmed as attending already) change their plans.

It is on the former site of the Columbus Motor Speedway. Seats 6,500, built in 2017 at a cost of $15 million.

Interesting that there is only seating on one side.

Also, a local high school has a football game there the previous night. Have fun with that late set up!

By my hunches, I am guessing the parking lots in front of the main gates would be the primary parking area. The parking areas by J4 and Recreation Trail would be the warm-up areas. I question whether this stadium has enough capacity to host a BOA regional, but then again, this is the replacement quasi-PA regional which was never that popular in general. Moving this away from PA isn't going to garner that much interest overall, unfortunately. More than anything, though, I am mourning of an awesome name onto this...... thing.

Lakota East a near lock for their first BOA medalist position if this list doesn't expand significantly.

I’m hearing that a competitive AA band from Central IN is heading over for this Regional. I haven’t gotten confirmation, just rumblings, and the BOA site hasn’t been updated in nearly 2 months for this regional.

the BOA site hasn’t been updated in nearly 2 months for this regional. Other than removing the designation about which schools are participating in Sunday Directors Clinics from a few pages on July 18, no regionals have been updated since June 21 (just before the Summer Symposium).
Late June through early August are always a slow time for BOA information.

Not updated on the BOA page yet, but Mason will not be attending this regional. They are attending the OMEA Buckeye Invitational on the same day instead. I speculate this is to have the opportunity for a high angle video that will not be available at Castle Obetz.
