Then the Convention Center next door has 2700000sqft!!!!! Well, some sites say more and some say less, but definetely more space than Georgia Dome and Indianapolis.
Anyways, its just my 2cents, I would love to see Championships be moved to West Coast for a year or so, for traveling reasons and because i think people may enjoy it more from our awesome weather, cool places to go, and the Pacific Ocean. lol.
I want to stay on topic here so here goes.
Please correct me if I am wrong but Staples Center floor is a basketball and hockey arena. How are you going to fit more than maybe one pit division of four on it? I know nothing about the new convention center but if it is typical, where are the sitting stands going to be for each division?
I don't think this setup you propose will allow more teams to attend. You may want to make your comments in the thread that Amy mentioned earlier. I am sure that most people including me would love to come to the west coast.
