Exactly. But it's an issue now, for some reason. We can't have it all under one roof. There just isn't a venue out there that can do this with the needed hotel capacity.

If the championship was able to be under one roof, and have 25% of teams, most people would be okay with it. But if it's 2 championships, they suddenly have a problem with 25%.

But I'm not in FRC for the hype or for the championship. I just want my kids to be able to experience the championship and have a good time seeing amazing things. And I want as many people as possible to experience that (which btw St. Louis is terrible for, I'm glad we're moving). And if that means we go to 2 championships, okay. I guess my priorities are different than most people on here.
