I don't think there is much of a cross-section between detractors of the district system and detractors of roll-in bleacher seating. Then again, the argument against districts has dissolved over the last 2-3 years.
The biggest thing against most of these venues is FIRST requires a lot of exhibition floor space just to maintain its current size, not even mentioning the restricted potential for growth. St Louis is really nice and close together, but the large number of meeting rooms available in America's Center are almost of no use to the purpose of progressively expanding the scope of championship to support the corresponding expansion of team and event counts at all levels.
