Thus FIRST goes scouting and finds the ideal site...one with plenty of hotels, plenty of nightlife, and plenty of all around entertainment, and FIRST BUILDS A FULL TIME ARENA TO HOLD NATIONALS.... one that will be able to accomodate the 500+ teams who usually attend plus pits, and seating. heck, FIRSt could even during comepetition maintain their own bus schedule to each hotel. and it wouldnt be totally out of the realm of possiblity either..

maybe im just whacked, but this would seem to solve a lot of the present issues...however i am open to other points of view.
Except... FIRST just raised registration fees.

And $1,000,000 won't give you enough money to lease the land, and erect a tent. It costs multiple hundreds of millions of dollars to construct stadiums.
