I don't think people have a proper understanding of how much it costs to construct a domed stadium and convention center.
The America's Center and Edward Jones Dome cost a combined $556,000,000 in 2012 dollars. Not including whatever expansion and upgrades were completed since they opened.
Even if you assumed that FIRST would only need to construct a facility 1/5 of the size of the venue in St Louis, Atlanta, Indianapolis, etc, the cost is still ridiculous.
