Back to Syracuse & Baton Rouge?

FYI:

The 11th Frame: Update: Syracuse, Baton Rouge set to announce they're hosting future USBC Open Championships or Women's Championships?

Biggest thing with Reno is being able to get out of the town and head to Tahoe and all the other cities around there. I went two or three times for me and I think twice for my wife. Albuquerque was ok for me. The group I went with got screwed on our hotel and and got transferred to some dump of a hotel, did not have to pay though. We were able to walk to the convention center on roaches and everything else we crunched.

There are by far my favorite topics of discussion.  East Coast, West Coast, Midwest, Southeast... Blah Blah Blah.  I'd like it to be outside the continental 48 states.  Alaska 2026!  LOL

They need more stops in the Northeast. I like Syracuse in 2018 but I wish there would be a stop in a more populated area like Atlantic City, NJ instead of Reno for a change. I would've liked a stop in Orlando, FL in what would've been held at Disney's Wide World of Sports complex, but that never became a reality. Ah well

As i understand it they sent out info to 80 possible host cities. Pretty sure a city has to bid for it. Many on the east coast might not want there convention centers taken up for 6 months.
Blame the USBC for not advertising there services to the east coast. Can we find out if other cities have bid for the tourney but the USBC turning them down?

Exactly.  I go to bowl the tournament and compete for an Eagle.  Could really care less where the tournament is... With that said, about 98% of the players that attend this tournament do so as a bowling vacation and to bowl in different cities so I totally get that.  They aren't there to win and a good tournament for them is breaking even or getting some cash back.  I live in Alaska so I could really care less whether it's northeast, southeast, Midwest, or Reno every year... I STILL HAVE TO FLY!!!  Driving is NEVER an option.  LOL.

If the only people that go are the ones that can compete for an Eagle, there won't be a tournament any more.

does anyone happen to know what those 80 cities were? Being born in the Midwest, I consider Baton Rouge to be Deep South, and don't ever remember if the tournament was ever hosted in a town west of the Mississippi and east of the Grand Canyon.

Personally, I was oping that an Omaha, Kansas City, St. Louis, OKC, or Denver may have been in the running, but it's like we don't know what cities bid until they announce the host city..

You are correct sir.  They are the 2%er's.  I'm probably being generous.  Maybe 1% really have a chance.
