Indianapolis can easily hold the nationals at the RCA Dome/ Convention Center. We host the NCAA final 4, Big 10 tourney, indy 500, brickyard 400, USGP, colts, pacers. we have TONS of hotels in the very close vicinity with reasonable prices. they have even talked about indy hosting the NCAA Final 4 all the time. There is lots to do downtown. Circle Centre Mall, NCAA Hall of Champions, and the canal are all nearby. There is lots to do downtown and it is all in a close vicinity. Teams can even go visit the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for $5. It's well worth your money. If we have no problems hosting all those events then we should have no problem with hosting the Nats and we wouldn't have to limit the nunber of teams because space isn't a problem. We're not Disney, but who needs it? You'll save lots of money by comming to Indy.
All of the fields can be kept inside the RCA Dome and the pits can be in the Convention Center that is attached. You wouldn't have to walk as far either. Our College sponsor, IUPUI, is also right next to the RCA Dome/ Convention Center so we could have access to all of the Machine Shop facilities that are necessary.
I see no negatives in having Indy host the Nats
