So I assume we're all in agreement that Nationals will soon be too big for even EPCOT/Disney to support. Well I've got a solution without the horrible complications of making regionals acts as qualifiers.
Move Nats to a bigger venue that can better handle the large number of teams. Where, you ask? Why Texas of course. Everything's bigger here anyways. Seriously, though, Houston or San Antonio would be perfect for a really large event like that. The new convention center that's being built with the new football stadium in houston is HUGE. More than enough room for pits and fields. And if we hold it there, Astroworld is only a short walk away. :^) Wouldn't it be cool to rent the entire park complete with rides to have the team party? The only real problem that I see is hotel space. I'm not sure if there's enough close enough. San Antonio would be good too. Its entire economy is based on conventions and tourism, so it's bound to have plenty of space and hotel rooms. I know for a fact that there are convention centers there that are big enough to handle FIRST, cause I've been in one. Again, it's just HUGE. and indoors and air-conditioned too. Only problem is there'd be no fireworks....

So who's up for moving Nats as far from Disney's high prices as pssible?
