Other site considerations (musings)
By my count, from 1980 - 2009, the National has been held in the following cities:
7x Chicago, IL
5x Anaheim, CA
5x Cleveland, OH
2x Arlington, TX
2x Atlanta, GA
2x Atlantic City, NJ
2x St. Louis, MO
1x Detroit, MI
1x Houston, TX
1x Los Angeles, CA
1x Parsippany, NJ (across from NYC0
1x San Francisco, CA
I am sure other locations continue to be investigated, with a strong emphasis on accessibility, lodging, costs, climate, etc.
Some of the other significant cities that came to my mind for outside consideration include:
Richmond, VA
Philadelphia, PA
Pittsburgh, PA
Cincinnati, OH
Lexington, KY
Indianapolis, IN
Minneapolis, MN
Milwaukee, WS
Des Moines, IA
Wichita, KS
Lincoln, NE
Omaha, NE
Denver, CO
Reno, NV
I am sure there are some wonderful options in Oregon or Washington state too.
