It's not quite that simple. Not all schools donate the use of their facility. Some charge for use. Even among schools that are willing to donate or discount the use of their facility, there are often hangups with other events taking precedence (the NCAA tournament can be a problem). Also, schools like to hold a regional over their Spring Break. Unfortunately, most schools have the exact same Spring Break which makes it hard for FIRST to schedule the regional (not all the regionals can happen on the same weekend).
