Or perhaps I think this way cause I live in a very cold/rainy place in NY.
FIRST is thinking the same way they think in terms of an event like the Superbowl. They would like someplace likely to have the best possible weather conditions so they can hold events like an afterparty outside. Regionals feature anywhere from 35-65 teams. The championship features nearly 300 and it is much easier to host a party in an amusement park or a place like Centenial park than say a Madison Square Garden or places like that.
You are just going to have to accept that FIRST is going to have their championships in warm weather locations.
