Your capacity for common sense is at its breaking point. I don't see how you arrived at that conclusion.

The Houston Texans have almost 70,000 attendees. "2002 The Show's concert finale featuring George Strait on March 3, 2002, breaks the all-time paid attendance record for any event in the Relant Astrodome with 68,266 spectators."

FIRST pales in comparison to this. Last year was only 20,000 according to the FIRST site (which still sounds high -- that's 70 people per team -- I thought during the speeches they said 14,000). Keep in mind that a lot of the teams are based on the east coast and in Florida. More teams will have to make an investment to attend Houston, so the number will barely be any larger.
