Having pits close to the fields is more important than having FRC close to FLL and FTC.

In that case, I wonder how Milwaukee would hold up?
We've got the Wisconsin Center, BMO Harris Bradley Center, US Cellular Arena, and Milwaukee Theater literally across the street from each other. I'll run through a possible pit breakdown:
-Wisconsin Center: ~190k sq ft contiguous exhibit space, 37k sq ft ballroom, 14 meeting rooms: FRC Pits and Fields
-BMO Harris Bradley Center: 18k seats: FLL Pits and Fields
-US Cellular Arena: 10k seats: FTC Pits and Fields
-Milwaukee Theater: 4k seats: Expanded Conferences
Additionally, these buildings are 2 blocks from the Public Museum and Planetarium, 3 from the Public Library, River and Riverwalk, Waterstreet, the Pabst Theater (seats 1300) and Repertory Theater (Seats 700).
Within a few blocks there is a DoubleTree, Hapton Inn & Suites, Fairfield Inn & Suites, Ramada, Hilton, and Hyatt.
It's walking distance from Marquette University and MSOE.
(This might be a
bit of a stretch)
