Where did you get 3 million? Anyways they don't buy it they rent the equipment. Hidden along the walls are little tags of a rental place.

$75*50,000 (Roughly)= 3.75 million dollars. For a "donated event" thats not bad chunck of change.

Now, I know the economy isn't what is was in the 1999 boom, and ABC/Disney is loosing a lot of money. But I hardly consider $75 a bargin. Disney has to relize that most teams just don't have that kind of money. Something like $20 per person and $20 if you want to go to the party is more reasonable. That would be $20*50,000 would be about a million dollars. I can see a million dollars for both the set up of the pits and set up of the competition field. And a million dollars or less for the Epcot party. I mean most of Epcot is closed, and the dance party is crowded, and they do put out way too much food. So I can see that a million dollars can cover the party.
