Part of the selection criteria FIRST went through when finding a bidding out a new site for Championship was having a stadium with convention center attached. That chopped down the venue list drastically since there are only a few of those in the country. I hear it is still a requirement for when they re-bid next year.

Then it moved to what cities have good public transportation, an airport that can accommodate a lot of people, and hotels near the venue.

I heard everyone would have loved to do Vegas since they could have put on a great show and handled the crowds but with so many kids Vegas probably wouldn't want us.
