A permanent structure to house temporary events exists at Walt Disney World - and it's already been named.

Michael Eisner's Wide World of Sports. It's been a dismal failure. Most people don't even know it exists.

There is an indoor facility there. I don't know its square footage, but it's smaller than the pit tents, I believe. But that, coupled with a few additional tents, might work.

I doubt the Event Village is a $3M investment. That's a capital expenditure that would show up in documentation *somewhere*. You can't spend that kind of money without being accountable in writing to someone, so if that number exists, we should be able to find it in writing. . . somewhere. Overall, however, after everything is said and done, $3M may be a figure used to account for all costs involved (wages, event village, food services, infrastructure, transportation, party), however.

A barebones regional starts at approximately $200,000. You'd be hard pressed to add an additional $800,000 worth of expenses to that. . .unless you folks get gold-plated hamburgers at your regionals.

Psst. There are only 365 days in a year, unless I'm getting swindled out of that 13th month.
