Established venues aren't necessarily as important as it might seem. None of the proposed arenas for the Indiana district competitons had been used for FRC regionals.
Actually, Kokomo did start out hosting IRI at Memorial Gym, so one finds a
little bit of ancient FRC history there. And it turns out that the originally chosen Indianapolis venue got pre-empted and the current IRI host facility is taking its place, so that's some more FRC continuity. But the Purdue event replacing the Boilermaker Regional isn't in the Armory, and the Crossroads Regional basically vanished.
As for choosing district boundaries, there are going to be teams at the edge however it's done. The Queen City and Midwest Regionals are closer for some teams than any of the Indiana events. They cope.
