Re: Championships location from 07 and onwards
The Championships move out of Orlando right before my freshman year because FIRST was getting to big for the Facilities that Disney World provided. Then they moved the championships to Houston for a year, it was fun but the walk from stands to ground floor of the Astrodome was much longer than I think anyone liked, oh and the robots had to take the same journey up and down the Switchbacks leading in and out of the building, the two day team social inside Houston Six Flags Astroworld was fun too. But ever since it has been in Atlanta, Its a nice location and the walk is not that bad if you know the side entrances and stuff.
The idea of the Championships being somewhere else would be interesting, the centralization would probably not be very efficient for either side of the nation(as previously stated), but what if they had two sites for nationals like Atalanta for East coast and Vegas for the West coast and you switch venues back and forth every year to balance out the costs
