This thread is becoming a repeated argument but whatever.
It Comes down to does everyone suffer or do 1/3 of the teams suffer.
I admit upstate teams get screwed but they are only 1/3 of the teams and as a minority that's someone that has to be done.
If dcmp was in the geographic center Albany (binghamton is a 4 and a half hour drive from li i don't care what Google maps says)
Only about 5 teams would actually benefit from it being in Albany. So the rest of the 150ish would have to all travel. Yea it's a little cheaper for upstate teams but that doesn't account for saved money by not having to have cars or buses accessible.. In a place like Albany you need a bus or a car to go to eat back to the hotel and to and from the venue. In nyc everything is so close that you can usually walk through all those if not taking the the subway which is affordable.
With that in mind it will most likely cost the same for upstate teams to come down to the city regardless of the added hotel costs.
