How many of these cities are actually actively interested in hosting the Championships? As I recall from the 2010 craziness to host in 2011, the only three serious considerations were Atlanta, Indianapolis, and St. Louis.
I'll have to say STL certainly did it right last year, and they're already promoting it this year. However, and this may be the townie bias in me talking, but if a city can host a Super Bowl, and do it remarkably and unequivocally well, then in my eyes that city would be the frontrunner to host the next round of FIRST Championships.
