FIRST could hold championships in a parking lot and it would still be awesome because it is still the FIRST championships.[/b]

Since you have been in FIRST for a while, you know about what FIRST is all about. However, for new people not familiar with FIRST, Disney was a carrot to give kids and then hook them with the FIRST experience. So for new kids not familiar with FIRST you need a good location, and once you have experienced FIRST it is less important. It still needs to be held in an exciting and professional venue to keep the prestige of the competition and keep the company sponsorship.
