Championships location from 07 and onwards

Ignoring the Michigan link, I really do think Detroit could work well. We've had experience with big events - with the MLB All-Star Game and the next Super Bowl being the two most prominent - and should be able to handle the big crowds. Comerica Park and Ford Field are close to each other, and would be within walking distance if it weren't for the major road between the stadiums.

That could be blocked off, though.

We've also got four of the biggest FIRST sponsors here - GM, Ford, DaimlerChysler, and Delphi. They're all in the Detroit area, and it shouldn't be too much of a stretch to get them involved in running Nationals.

That said, I really would like it to be somewhere else. I've been in Detroit for years, and I'd love to keep on traveling to new places. Atlanta and Houston were great, but variety is even better...
