Houston is also on top of the list as well as Detroit for violent crimes.

Is anyone else wondering if the leaders are looking at this when sites at chosen?

First emphasizes safety so much at their events while inside but does not seem to care what occurs outside the arena. Safety of all participants needs to be based on the entire makeup of the length of the events.

I see what you mean but I'm sure that FIRST chose/will choose the safest areas of the cities to ensure a great experience for teams and spectators.
