As for Indiana, it has EXACTLY the same problems as STL. Airport isn't a hub, there is some crime, hotel situation isn't great... I can go on...

*That I know of.
I don't think we were hitting a space ceiling in Atlanta. The pits could go exactly where they used to go, with perhaps FLL or FTC moving to a different part of the GWCC.

If the "separate venues" plan debuted this year were done in Atlanta, it would be even less of a problem.

Turf can be covered rather than removed, right? Thought that's what happened in Atlanta?
