FIRST having it's own arena would be nice, but I don't know how well that will work. Remember that whatever arena they would construct, it most likely needs to be designed to handle what FIRST will look like 5 years from now (since a stadium/convention center duo will undoubtedly take close to this long, if not longer). FIRST has only been around for a little over 15 years, and with it growing at the exponential rate it is, that could be a hard number to predict (who knows? Maybe they'll even be a 4th competition in addition to FVC, FLL, and FRC by then).

If it's feasible I think it would be cool for FIRST to do a rotating Championship between 2 or 3 (or 4 even) cities (yes, I know it was mentioned earlier, but it's a very good idea). As long as it was between 4 or less cities, and you spaced them fairly evenly across the country (1 West Coast, 1 East Coast, 1 Southern, and 1 Northern, or some other combo), you end up giving almost every team in the country a chance to have easy access (aka within a 10 hour bus ride) to the Championship sometime during a student's 4 year high school attendance. If they ever got adventerous FIRST could even have one Championship in Canada
