The only problem I see with that is How are we going to rent out the places for first? These are just things we should think about and that we should really consider!

I'm afraid looking to former Olympic cities as sites for FIRST nationals will not get us very far (at least if we're expecting to be able to use the Olympic villages as housing for FIRST teams.) My impression is that Olympic villages get reused fairly quickly as low income housing or college dorms or the like. (Jason, is this the problem you were refering to when you ask "How are we going to rent out the places for first?") I don't think the former Olympic villages generally sit idle waiting for events like FIRST to come to town. Their reuse is one of the ways cities use to justify the expense of hosting an Olympics.
