There's a desert! Otherwise, nothing. There is only Las Vegas, and seeing how Dean got his panties in a twist over a rap video, Las Vegas seems out of the question; despite it's late 90's campaign to become a family destination.

DOWN WITH DISNEY

Umm, okay.
I think it speaks
volumes that nobody has been able to suggest a widely known, obviously available, right-sized, family-friendly venue. At all. FIRST is too big for most convention centers and too small for stadiums.
Disney is the perfect size, environment, and image for FIRST's partnership, I think. Amy mentioned something today that, whether you agree with the reasons or not, will be largely true - people will leave teams if Walt Disney World isn't in the picture. It may not be because they're not interested in FIRST, or because they're in it for the free trip, but because Walt Disney World is a visible, tangible, achievable goal. . . because people who haven't otherwise experienced FIRST know that, no matter what, they can have fun at the end.
Can anyone make any other realistic suggestions about venues that match that appeal, recognition, and practicality? I can't think of any.
