The 3 year thing, yea... I wonder if they'll have to rethink that. As for location... I think that FIRST will be able to do more than they have at Epcot, just because of the planning time they have and now they don't need to pay for all of the big tents at Epcot, since we have the indoor venue. I also believe if FIRST plays its cards right, since they're right near CNN, we can get alot more promotion then we have in previous years, because CNN won't have to pay to travel, and if they actually see it, they might help us in the future. Just my thoughts.
I think it's great that FIRST has planned for three years. That means, for a few years, teams won't have to stress and worry about where the Championship is going to be held. I was thinking about the CNN thing as well ... Being on CNN would alert more cities/people about FIRST, maybe start some new teams, and get some good publicity for teams already involved. If Atlanta makes a decent amount of money over the next three years because of FIRST, there will be a lot of cities bidding for the 2007 Championship!! Who knows, maybe in a few years cities will be paying FIRST enough money to hold the Championship for free for the teams attending.
