Location-Location-Location

I came away with the impression that it was narrowed down to five possible locations. Sounded like Houston was the front runner. Disney sports complex (not EPCOT) is bidding and also is Atlanta. Folks at Chicago forum that took notes help me out with the other two.

The contract will be for three years.(FIRST, please choose wisely) For my own opinion, Disney sports complex might be the home run. They probably would have to use some auxiliary tents, but having good venue in an air conditioned building is a must. The big negative is the cost to the teams because of the high package costs, but access the transportation system and Disney parks is a great plus for the students.

It was reported that they will try and make a decision in the next two months.
