Sure there are plenty of obstacles keeping this from happening, but I do think it's in the realm of possibilities.

I think the point of the post was to show that FIRST has been known to abandon their comfort zone to undertake new ventures. You may not want to hear Greg's point, but telling him not voice it because you don't like isn't helping anyone.

Maybe with another decade or two of global warming, Toronto might be a great place for the Championship.  The possibility of a major snow storm impacting the event needs to be considered. We were fortunate that the freak tornado didn't take down last year's event in Atlanta.
