I know for a fact that the Pontiac Silvedome is up for sale ......cheap as the Detroit Lions want out of their lease.
I heard rumors of 4 million to take it over. Hey, thats just 1 event at Disney and its paid for.
Plenty of helicopter space.

Though it's not Florida and not Disney, this may be a wise move for FIRST. The staduim could be bought and used to secure a larger place later. But until then there is probly plenty of hotel space due to fans coming to see the games, as well as parking and acces to facilities. The locker rooms could be used as game rooms, shops, and other entertainment/aide facilities. When you really think about this it is a good place to have FIRST comps, even though it's not as desirable as Disney. The functionality of the site must be thought of before you get into trivial things like Disney parks. In the summer it won't be cold there and it also wont have the down poors that occur in Florida (usually daily at about 2pm). I really have a hard time with the fact that FIRST is a financial burden on Disney. We pay for most of our stuff and , if I'm not mistaken, we pay for the team pary in Epcot. I'm sure part or most of the fee we pay goes to Disney. Then again I could be way off on everything I just said.
