Yeah, I suppose you could do a tent village for the pits, but anyone who went to a pre-2003 Championship will probably not be happy at the suggestion.

How come? I thought the tents were pretty cool in 2002 (my only year I went to Epcot). FIRST has grown far too large for it to work going forward though.
I have no knowledge of the bid process for the championship but I suspect it's too late for any newcomers. If it's leaving Atlanta I'd have to imagine FIRST already has a preferred location and negotiations with the city are under way.
I also suspect it's not going much if any farther west than Atlanta. Leaving the middle of the country makes it much more difficult for the majority of teams to get there.
