Then the teams would qualify for Worlds from the Super Regionals. World Champs would still be 400 teams.

From a venue perspective, where else would be an appropriate venue? What city has a domed stadium with a huge conference center attached with 25,000 hotel rooms within wlaking distance?
Atlanta.

And the district model being the standard throughout FIRST will be alot longer than a few years. Its gonna take at least a decade for the team density down in the southeast to reach the capacity needed for districts.
