Seems like a terrible idea to me. Hope they only did it because there wasn't any options.

One of the goals of Michigan Districts stated as "This allows teams to play close to home and gives families, schools, local government, businesses and media easy access to local FIRST Competitions." By putting two events in the same place one group of teams get to do this twice while other groups of teams are waiting for their chance to do this.

Additionally I don't believe you will see the benefit one just field setup under a model like this, since I doubt many schools will just let teams leave a set up FRC field in their gym for a whole week. Gym classes, clubs, and other sports will still need to utilize that gym.
