I still feel like we could have supported 600-800 FRC teams in Atlanta plus FLL and FTC. We didn't even come close to utilizing half of the space available in Atlanta. Put FTC in the Philips Arena (pits in one of the other exhibit buildings) and FLL in another exhibit building.

Just pointing out that the 800 team + J/FLL + FTC issue might not be so much about venue space as it is about things like hotels.
This is one of the reasons I like the FRC Champs, FTC Champs split: it could conceivably keep the sheer number of people in each city around what FIRST and those metros were planning for.
