Volunteers. Having twice as many fields would require twice as many volunteers to staff them. Now, I'm not educated about FRC's volunteer situation, but I'd say it's safe to say that it would be hard to get double the current amount to St. Louis.
Money. Having twice as many divisions would require twice as many field setups, twice as many sound/video/lights people and equipment. I'm sure it adds up.
It's the two things that drive the real world: money and manpower. If we can get a good supply of both, I'm sure FIRST would quickly expand the number of divisions. But it's rarely that easy...
