The tents did get bigger, from 1999 to 2001 the tent size almost doubled each year. In 2001 it was mentioned the pit tent could hold more than 3 747s lengthwise. The stands on Einstein could hold 12k+. The only size complaint I had was with the seating for the division fields.

HA! That's a laugh. FIRST was a god send for WDW. It filled hotels with 15,000 kids durring the slow period and inflated attendence figures for Wall Street. FIRST will go back to Disney. Simple as that.

Exactly, also think of all the cash we bring to Disney world. At 5 days in Disney I easily spent 150$+ on food. And spent plently of money in the parks and stores. Teenagers are a prime market for disney.
As for the bias on location. To be cnetral we'd have to play somewhere is Kansas. If a team has to fly 3 hours to get somewhere why not fly 4. It could be argued that Nats should be held in NH or CN because of the rediculously high density of teams in that area. Florida is by far centralized but it meets therequirements of FIRST; size, hotels, recreation and climate.
What makes a team great is not what they do during the 6 weeks, but what they do the rest of the year. - davidthefat [more]
