As long as FIRST plans out the logistics for getting the Einstein teams/equipment shuttled a mile well, this could be a viable strategy. (Note: Same can apply to Houston).

Finals for Divisions are certainly gonna be tight for both Detroit and Houston. With that said, if you get the right people, you can really transform any big convention space and make it work. I'd give that aspect a chance and see what happens.
