If first went to indy then unless you drove you are not going to champs. I have been working in the airline industry for 8 year now there are not enough seats.

Keep trying to knock down Indianapolis, Sean, but your flight costs are simply NOT TRUE.
I fly out of Indy often and get reasonable rates. Within the past year, I have had these rates:
Indy to Manchester, round trip (1 layover): $180
Indy to Miami, round trip (1 layover): $190
Indy to Vegas, round trip (direct): $200
Also, if anyone flies in and out of Indy now, they will notice a brand new airport. Not a remodeled airport... a new airport that just opened last week.
Indy hosts the NCAA final four every 3-4 years.
Indy hosts the largest single-day sporting event in the world each year (Indy 500, where 300,000 people attend).
Indy will host the NFL Super Bowl in 2012.
If the passenger volumes of incoming and outgoing flights from IND can handle those events, they can handle the FIRST Championships.
