How many championships have you seen?
I think there are other locations out there that can suit it, that haven't held Olympics. So far I haven't seen enough information on other cities to know though.
Looking at the teams that attended this season, there were 41% that were in 12hr driving distance of Atlanta (majority being at the max or few minutes beyond 12hrs), but 65% to Indy (and majority of these were <9hrs to Indy). However, if you look at the Michigan teams, and assume they would have a slow moving bus driving them to Atlanta, that wouldn't make it in 12hrs, it drops to 28% of teams were in 12hr driving of Atlanta. Whether teams would choose to drive or fly, don't know. Depends on their budget, size of team, etc... But it does show the proximity of where many teams are coming from and a potential cost savings for many.
We can't expect it to be held in Atlanta forever, though I do like it... or maybe we can... but I highly doubt it.
