FIRST has never been about becoming another sport like football. There's no alcohol at competitions and the athletes aren't competing for large sums of money. The objectives of FIRST aren't to crush all the other teams, but instead to work together with kids from across the country. If we want FIRST to become a spectators sport, we should decide if we want to distinguish it from the other sports out there. If the crowd played any additional role it would make spectators really feel like a part of things. I don't know if this idea is feesible or not, but like any idea it needs to be proven to be right or wrong.
