fyi: most hockey / basketball arenas hold ~20,000 give or take a few thousand. Big football stadiums hold 60,000 - 80,000.
But I agree that FIRST will have to switch to a stadium if they keep growing the size of Nats. A basketball stadium sounds like a good solution, but the one thing it's missing is outdoors & Disney. One of the great aspects of Nats is sitting outside (even though I didn't do it enough) and watching matches, sitting outside eating lunch or talking with friends. Plus if FIRST moves to a stadium in a city, what will everyone do each day after competitions? The beauty of Disney is that's already taken care of.
I've heard a few people talk about Nats moving to Texas, and each time I hear that I think of the same question, "What's in Texas?". It certainly doesn't sound as fun as Disney.
