It needs to avoid the warmer climates such as Phoenix because it will be really expensive. Charlotte is a reasonable location as would be Raleigh, and even Atlanta could be OK as that isn't a Spring Break destination. Raleigh, Charlotte, and Atlanta would all be excellent locations for Nationals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laxhawk174 Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Central WI - Wisconsin Valley Conference Territory. The epicenter of the greatest state in the world. We don't have the infrastructure to support it, but we can build an arena and accompanying shantytown to support the event, similar to the world cup in Qatar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingcement Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Indianapolis seems like it handles tons of conventions and while its not that exciting maybe, they do have a bunch of direct flights. I tend to think somewhere in the midwest makes the most sense from a geographic standpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Bryant Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 No. When you get done working (that year) at 12:15 and want a beer or three, you were basically given last call as you were getting settled someplace, provided there was room. That wasn’t a great part about working the event in Omaha. Insert catchy tagline here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a guy who lived in Delaware - I should mention that even though the Bob (Carpenter Center) does a good job for the Beast, the last call in Delaware is at - wait for it - 12:45!!! Not that it was ever in question - but say no to Delaware for nationals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a forty year old who has missed since 2019, I cannot relate to this. Life comes at you fast lol i am an idiot on the internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Bryant Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 The put Omaha back in play, although the size of the airport and flight options there are much smaller than I expected. Of course, that was 13 years ago and I went back-to-back with D2 and D1. Insert catchy tagline here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
