L.A. would be very hard. No covered football stadiums. Hotels aren't exactly close...

You might be able to at the current site of the L.A. Regional, but a lot of airlines don't fly into the nearest airport, meaning that you have to add at least an hour's travel time.

The only other option would be Staples Center and the L.A. Convention Center, but the odds of getting the former are slim.

L.A.'s transport system, the Metro, is not exactly convenient.
