FIRST could hold championships in a parking lot and it would still be awesome because it is still the FIRST championships.[/b]
Since you have been in FIRST for a while, you know about what FIRST is all about. However, for new people not familiar with FIRST, Disney was a carrot to give kids and then hook them with the FIRST experience. So for new kids not familiar with FIRST you need a good location, and once you have experienced FIRST it is less important. It still needs to be held in an exciting and professional venue to keep the prestige of the competition and keep the company sponsorship.

Since the word is out, yes, FIRST is considering a name change, but not where you think. :)

Also, I'm a Disney fan and love the parks and think they are the safest place, I really like the idea of Atlanta. It's much nicer than Houston and has better facilities. I mean really, we paid more at Houston and got less than if we went to Disney!

Since I don't have access to our financial documents [edit] right now[/edit], the two things that killed us were hotel accomidations (more expensive than Orlando by far) and the plane flight (trying to fly out of Richmond to Dallas then to Houston is murder on a budget.)
