Now THAT would be cool.

That would be cool. But I've got one better...
I think the Edward Jones Dome in St.Louis (home of the Cleveland/Los Angeles/Anaheim/St.Louis Rams) would make a great venue. I went to the inaugural FIRST event in St. Charles, MO in 2002? and FIRST has made a HUGE impact in the St. Louis Area. (John Doerr from Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield and Byers brought FIRST to St.Louis and the program has been immensely successful there). It is right next to the America's Center - a large convention facility. There are plenty of nearby hotels. The Jefferson National Memorial (also known as the Arch) is nearby as is Laclede's Landing (plenty of restaurants). There's a light rail system that connects downtown directly to the airport. The St.Louis Science Center is just a few miles away...
Why not "Meet Me in St. Louis"???
