The SilverDome?

Erm. . .it's probably not in FIRST's best interest...especially financially, to purchase a stadium.

Upkeep, personnel, and taxes would be an absolutely massive burden on a non-profit organization. Nevermind the fact that it's all for three days of use a year! If the building's not being used by sports teams anymore, what is FIRST going to do with it for the rest of the time that Nats isn't going on? They sure can't rent that much space . . .

Nationals is a short-term event, and as such, will be best suited for a temporary venue; or something permanent that is owned and operated by someone else.

Disney is good for FIRST, but FIRST does nothing for Disney. It's not the greatest relationship, but it's something we have to live with.

FIRST has noble goals, and fosters great learning and growing experiences. But, I'll be the first to admit. . . I didn't know about that stuff when I started a team. I knew the National Championships were held in WDW, though. It makes a difference.

But, I'm just now realizing that this post is quite a bit like the one before it. . . so, in that case; I agree.
