Go to Post There's a fine line between cockiness and confidence. Confidence is one of the major keys to success and happiness in life. As long as one can carefully stay on the right side of the line, staying connfident while remaining humble, and ego can be quite beneficial. - Karthik [more]

This fact is why I was surprised to see Phoenix mentioned as one of the Finalists a few pages back. Phoenix has a venue now (the Arizona Cardinals stadium is across the street from the Phoenix Coyotes hockey arena, and there is a large convention center in one of the hotels in the same plaza), and a track record from hosting the recent Super Bowl and NCAA Football Championship, but the major thing still missing is a good transportation link to the airport. The stadium is at least a 20 minute drive from the airport, and although Phoenix just opened a light rail system it is not planned to connect to the stadium until 2017. In addition although we hosted a number of events most people for those big games had to be bussed over because there aren't enough hotels right by the stadium quite yet (and with no light rail line, no easy access to hotels a little further away).

I will say however that Phoenix would be an excellent location for the 2017 Championships and beyond


Anyway if a change of scenery can be made to the Championships without compromising its quality, I'm all for it.
