I understand that they want to stay in the same place for a while because they really learn the area, the facilities and could best run a compeition from year to year just being familiar with the facility.

I'd love to see FIRST go to Orlando for a year or two, LA for a year or two, NYC, Chicago, etc..

First reason is FIRST would really spread and word would get around about the program by local media.

Next reason is because I think each of those big cities almost everybody would like to see, I mean who doesn't want to go to LA just once or hang out in Time Square?

Unfortunatly those cities probably out price themselves. I mean for those teams that have buses drive them everywhere, the gas prices just outside NYC on Sunday were $2.37 a gallon, and I could only imagine how much money it would cost to get a hotel room or for FIRST to pay for a building, and I'm sure LA and the west coast out price themselves too.

Yeah, I can see how gas prices like that around New York would cause high traveling costs. Good thing it's still in Atlanta ;)
