Minneapolis. Done. We have the infrastructure, the venues all connected by skyways, Metro Transit, etc. And we are centrally located. With the advent of the
new Vikings Stadium and then the subsequent University of Minnesota Arenas and the Target Center as well as the Minneapolis Convention Center all connected via Skyway and Metro Transit the metro area could be a contendor.
It is a safe city and has the ultimate back-up in having St Paul as another place to host events. Minneapolis is a Global City and has the most Theatrical Stages outside of New York in the USA. We have a top tier airport - A Delta hub. The Mall of America that has 40 million visitors annually. We boast teams from the top 5 tier sports in North America (Twins, Vikings, Timberwolves, Wild, and MN United).
I would love to see Minnesota host the Championships. Those that have attended the MPLS or Duluth Regionals can attest to the success of the events.
Maybe in 2021 or beyond we can have all of you here. Our Hotdish is the best!
