VEX on the other hand.
St. Louis, as much as I hate the cost, was very satisfactory this year and would love to see it continue there beyond 2014.
Atlanta was a better venue, but the city was boring with nothing to do and felt much more unsafe around the downtown area.
The only other city I see as cost effective, having the space to do it, and with lots to do for both students AND adults.....Las Vegas!

Atlanta seemed to have alot more to do than St. Louis does (though St. Louis does a much better job keeping the homeless population away from the event). You can't take the kids to a casino.
The Georgia Dome is the scariest place I have ever been after 10 pm but I did not realize til I read
this article that the world championship is right next too the 22nd most dangerous neighborhood in America. That would explain why so many teams found their trailer almost broken into.
Does Lost Wages have a dome stadium of we're just talking another convention center?
