A quick comparison shows the maximum floorspace of the Cow Palace to be ~30,000 sq. ft.
The space required for a football field alone, on the GA dome floor is ~60,000 sq ft. Plus extra room on all sides.
If the championship event was changed to only include FRC, it could be held any number of places--including Disney again, I'd assume. But as long as it stays the size it is (FRC, FTC, FLL), there's no real way it can be held anywhere but a domed football stadium with an attached conference center.
