All you have to do to fill up the new Dallas regional is organize 20 or 30 rookie teams. Knowing that there is a local regional, that might be easier to do than you think. It depends on organization.

Some teams will travel to Dallas as their second regional, depending on what week their home regional is. You might even get a few teams from "up north".
Well if financial reasons is the main reason some teams went down I don't think the "travel" expenses would be the biggest bill since students usually cover their own travel on most teams (or so they say). Apparently one of the one liners UTDallas tries to use on students is something along the of "(insert large number that I can't think of right now) number of technology companies are within (a very small number) miles of the University for purposes of internships, etc. I wonder if these companies are going to participate in the FIRST Robotics program.
