The stadium where the AZ Diamondbacks play in Phoenix is really nice. It has a roof that closes over it. The fields would all fit on the baseball field and the pits could be in the large corridors underneath the stands all the way around the arena. The only problem would be lack of a concrete floor.

There is one huge problem with The Diamondbacks baseball field. They start playing on it right when we would be having nationals. But I have heard it is the nicest baseball field there is.
Atlanta's airpost is the busiest with the most flights going through it than any other in the world.
And I mean, It isn't Atlanta's fault there wre no posters and stuff everywhere. You must understand that the GADome and the GWCC are filled constantly with large scale events like this all the time. Many not this large, but it would still be impossible to give that kind of recognition to every single event. Every weekend it is something new.
I don't know much about the proximity of hotels and entertainmnt and restaraunts to the stadium.
But on another note of recognition, last year, the largest news television channel in the US (CNN) gave some recognition to FIRST and my team. I am not sure about this year. But there was still some recognition there. Not to mention a front page article on the AJC's living section about FIRST. I know that isn't very national, but atleast it was a little recognition.
