Along with the number of FRC teams, these things must be considered.

Absolutely, Andy. I mentioned the growth of those other programs in my original post, so I didn't want to repeat it all again. It seems that, these days, most of the space required to host the Championship is contingent upon the success of programs like FTC and FLL and not, at all, upon FRC. It's an interesting perspective to consider given that many folks around here talk about the other programs as if they exist only to support and supplement "the big leagues."
