Not sure what they're playing at. No connected dome. Their biggest room can only seat 5,000 when set up for arena style seating. Seems completely unsuitable.

The Detroit Convention Center is absolutely massive, but they still wouldn't be able to seat enough people for Einstein. The arena the Red Wings play in is attached, but a hockey arena is too small for anything except just Einstein.

Seems pretty clear to me it's going to be Atlanta or St Louis. I hope Atlanta. It's so much easier to get to via air travel, it has nicer hotels, better restaurants, the park for students, etc. The only real knock I see is that once you're out of the midwest it's not driving distance for a lot of teams.
