Also, Kettering is a University and they do actually have a field set up that teams can visit. I don't entirely know the details of how a team would go about visiting but the university is pretty FRC-friendly in general. There's a bunch of KU students on this forum that may be able to address that concern more thoroughly.

QFT on both points. If you figure you should have 1 district event per cluster of 20 teams, two events in Flint absolutely makes sense. Also, Kettering is the only college I can think of that would even possibly do this. They're FRC-crazy and my understanding is they will be leaving the field up for the whole week. That said, you're right that it's unlikely this becomes common because only the rare place would be willing to leave a field for a whole week.
