I wouldn't think so. FIRST is about growing the program, not shifting it.

Most of the newer regionals are named for their city location, or a state location if the city they are in is too small or is part of a larger metropolitan area - for example, West Michigan. The new regional might be called Minnesota rather than Minneapolis, so as not to diminish the importance of St. Paul. So, do you think any of the older regionals will be renamed to take into account that they not the only regional in the region for which they were named? PNW comes to mind, as does Midwest and Great Lakes.
