Disney did not like FIRST. They just didn't want them there anymore. That's one of the reasons FIRST left them.
Secondly, it was biased toward the east coast, so it made travel more tedious for west-coast teams.
Reliant stadium actually does want to host the event, and can gain a good chunk of public attention. It is also centered in the country, so everyone (just about) makes the same amount of travel.
More than likely, FIRST will stick w/ the Reliant stadium.

From what I know from some engineers that I know that have talked to some of the people from FIRST, 2 reason as to why FIRST left Disney this year where
a: because of cost
and
b: because the could not find a date that both FIRST and Disney would agree on....
I dunno, just what I heard!
