That, and it must be hard finding facilities, after all April still has the NBA in session, NHL (if they ever return), and even MLB teams are already in the regular season (domed baseball fields would be a great host).

Those factors alone realistcly limit the options for facilities since major cities have NBA, NHL, and MLB teams playing in the same venues FIRST would be interested in. It may not neccessarly be FIRST saying "we don't want to go to LA" when the arena is saying "The Lakers might be in town, go somewhere else"
