Going back to NASA

I have heard NASA tossed around in here and I have also heard that FIRST is hurting for money around too. Since NASA is a large supporter of FIRST (team sponsorship, Grants, Webcasts, Regional Sponsor, etc...)

It would only make sense that if the Championship event was to be sponsored by someone other than Disney (if you call that sponsorship charging big bucks to teams to go) it would be NASA since they are such a large supporter in general.

So it could be in any (hopefully large) city near a well known NASA site (ie. San Francisco, Los Ageles, Houston, Orlando, Richmond) I know that these Sites are all near or are current regionals and most if not all have been sposored by NASA at sometime.

I would be a bit surprised if the Championship event is held in the same city as a regional event, but it happend last year (and who knows maybe there was a contract for EPCOT for so many years) and could happen again.

Personally the Championship event should be held in a more centralized location or better yet it should be in or near a city that held a regional in the previous year that is closest to the previous years champion team that selected the alliance or the National Chairmans award winner.

Chew on that for a bit...
