While I don't doubt that the stadium could hold everyone in FIRST two or three times over, I think that the real limiting factor where Championship attendance is concerned is not the venue at all but the available staff to run the fields and the rest of the event.

That said, they could give us the biggest stadium on Earth, but until FIRST finds some way of getting more people involved in the running of this event, either by bringing on new staff or otherwise training volunteers, the size limitations will remain.

I do hope, however, that staffing problems can be addressed.
