As I said above, it's not an issue of location. It's more an issue of people control. It's rather difficult to control upwards of 15,000 people. And not just for a short period of time, but for three whole days. And there needs to be control for 5 different arenas and an enormous pit area. And to top it off, the vast majority of the people attending are high school students which makes it even more difficult. Now try expanding the numbers above because that's what'd happen if FIRST let more teams to nationals. There really isn't anything else that compares for its size, audience, and length. Because of the people control issues I doubt nationals will ever get bigger.
