Well, you're right about the size, and location of the orange county convention center. However, I don't know if FIRST could get the convention center for a number of reasons. Disney gives FIRST that whole
venue to use, because they can, and they still make a bunch of money from the whole event from people staying in their hotels, going to the parks, and on concessions.

In contrast, the OCCC makes all their money by conventions renting out their space to use, I DOUBT that they would just give up the amount of space that FIRST needs for Nationals. Also, they wouldn't make any money off hotels, etc. Only from concessions, and that would not be enough. Another thing is that since it is such a large facility, it is almost always being used to some extent, which would add to the problem of getting the facility for at least a week.
