I have no problem with a regional in Vegas. As a team we're looking to go there this year.
The point I was trying to make was that if A-B is not a good sponsor for this age group because of what they are known for, why is Las Vegas OK because it's known for activities not for this age group.

Sponsor money is sponsor money. I know how hard it is to raise enough money for a team. If money is offered without strings, then why not take it? These kids are smart enough to understand the perceptions.
