NRG Center, a large (706,000 sq ft) convention center, is about 200 yards from Reliant Stadium in Houston.
I don't know why, or even if, Houston is being considered as a future site. The facility is certainly large enough. However, that 200 yards is uncovered and exposed to the elements. Given Houston's climate, that may be an issue.
That said, Houston is still considering what to do with the old Astrodome. It's always possible that whatever is done will result in a better venue for FIRST championships.
