Don't forget that FIRST re-opened the registration after teams cancelled. There were also more teams than last year (even with the war). 293 versus 289. Yeah, that's right, MORE. If anything, teams should be able to bring just as many, if not, more students because the packages, according to FIRST, are lower in price than the disney packages.


Overall, I think Disney is a much better choice for the competition, because you get spectators from ALL OVER THE WORLD that drop by because they are visiting the theme park. Last year FIRST estimated that 20,000 people were there.
I suppose that's true. Being that I was not in Houston, I guess I can't gauge how much of a closed-off venue it is.

While Disney might have been expensive, I think the best thing for the economy and FIRST would be to keep moving the Championship event around. The fact that there are still US states without teams is a travesty - maybe we can fix that.
