Considering what is cost to send two teenagers to youth convention and/or youth congress, I would call GC bargain basement.

Is the expense the facility or is it paying for the preachers travel, meals, etc? Why not have conferences at churches or camp meeting sites, or even cheaper large venues such as convention centers.
Do they really have to rent out professional sports arenas? They probably could have had a conference at Lakewood if they'd of asked.
