You're oh so sadly mistaken. AV at tradtional regionals isn't just paid professionals. It's paid professionals shipped in from New England along with all their equipment. To the tune of mid five figures for the Lonestar regional. As has been mandated by FIRST HQ for a while now, since they have a national contract with the AV company. If I recall correctly AV is the biggest or second biggest expense at Lonestar. So it's far from insignificant, and can dwarf the actual venue costs.
