One thing that I think most of you need to understand is that when looking for a place for the championship things that are for the convenience of teams (all the things discussed here, flights, hotels, attractions and so on) are not necessarily FIRST's primary considerations.

They really have to consider their costs for hosting the event, that means what are the hotels willing to pony up, what will the local government do for them and what corporate sponsors they can exploit (and I mean that in a good way)

So if you want your town hosting the Championship I suggest you start working on the cash, not how nice your venue is.

PS this is not a put down of FIRST, this is how they have to do business anything else would be irresponsible.
