Since we already pay 6k, how about 2-300 more to cover those teams.
I must assume you are kidding about the Hawaii location. This thread topic is about trying to allow more teams to attend the Championship event which I don't think that your suggestion would accomplish.

I don't believe that there is a domed football sized stadium with a convention center next door on any Hawaiian island. While I believe that any of us would love to enjoy the competition in such a beautiful place, the costs for ALL teams (except the 6 Hawaiian teams) would be much higher than if it were held anywhere in the continental USA. We must consider our friends in South America, Canada, Europe, Asia and other areas also.
