Disney cares about how much money it can make off of FIRST. Don't you recall the wonderful extra "team party fee" that you had to shell out last year to go to the party? The facts are that teams started moving out of Disney hotels and packages, and into more cost effective non-Disney hotels. When Disney started losing money, :: poof :: there goes the championship.
35 years and going of a good working transportation system. Houston, a few days here and there.

Second, what makes you think that Disney doesn't care about FIRST. Was it that they worked over 3 months before and after the comp to build the #%#%#%#% stadium. They created that huge FIRST logo in metal for us. They closed part of Epcot for us. They had a fireworks show. And then they had the TV Movie and various other promotion of FIRST on TV and other things. I see FIRST will be seen as a neucence for Houston.

And let me get this straight, if I thought than anywhere else could handle FIRST, I wouldn't disagree with it at all. But I do not think Houston will be a good choice.
