Those could certainly work. I'm sure there are lots of places that would be great to hold it.

Personally I didn't really like Houston that much. There didn't seem to be too much to do (aside from Six Flags which got a bit old after a while). Not to mention the incredible walks with the robot to get between the fields and the pit. Bringing the robots up those ramps was terribly taxing, especially with everyone rushing back and forth. Granted the distance in Atlanta isn't entirely optimal (especially the walking distance to the far fields for spectators), but the walking in Houston was abysmal, for both robots and spectators. Though the seating wasn't as great as in a stadium, the field/pit setup in Orlando was, in my opinion, the best of the three.
