Serious Question about Championship Cost

Our team was notified b4 our regional that our championship cost was taken care of.. so I'm not whining about not being able to pay. The champsionship event costs 5k, and I'm just wondering why? If all the judges/refs/everyone is a volunteer where is the money going? I can see renting the georgia dome being quite a bit of money but over a million.. I doubt it... but then I've never rented the georgia dome. Also the costs of a georgia dome crew - cleaning - electricity - shipping of various game elements - and such.. but I can't see these costs all together going over 500k. Does FIRST work at a deficit all year and make it up by the nats? I have no clue.. I highly doubt FIRST is ending up far in the black, so can somebody that knows more about this explain where the major costs are coming from. Thanks =)
