Logistical NIGHTMARE.

Sure, you'd probably have more than enough space for all the fields and pits. However...

--You still have to rig the lighting, screens, sound... and you have to do it from scratch--those buildings would not be equipped for that.
--You have to figure out a way for the general public to join you, preferably without paying KSC admission fees.
--You have close to a thousand teams (FRC, FLL, FTC, JFLL), each with probably about 20 people, many with more, all descending on KSC at the same time. Security and parking and transport are gonna be issues.
--Hotel rooms within a decent range are not the most plentiful thing around, though there are quite a few places to stay if you get creative.
