Unfortunatly those cities probably out price themselves. I mean for those teams that have buses drive them everywhere, the gas prices just outside NYC on Sunday were $2.37 a gallon, and I could only imagine how much money it would cost to get a hotel room or for FIRST to pay for a building, and I'm sure LA and the west coast out price themselves too.[/quote]
$2.37 a gallon? In our little town of Arab, Alabama we are paying $2.93 a gallon

!!! Although I love the Atlanta venue (plus it's close enough to take a school bus-Save money!) I know my students would love to see another area of the country. I think Salt Lake would be great. It would definitely take a lot more money but I would be willing to raise it so my kids could see there really is a world out there!
