It is also important to note that one of the goals of MAR is to help grow FRC participation in the supported region. I don't think anyone would disagree that the MAR Champs this year is in a lower team population area. By holding the event in such an area there is a greater chance of new teams being formed there than say in Philly, where there are already many teams with much smaller room to grow new teams.
