Galen Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Directors may use this thread to post their bids for season 19's finals venue. Nominations should include suggestions for venues for all three divisions. Venues do not all have to be in the same city but should be within a relatively close geographical area (ie for last season, world class finals took place in Dallas while the other divisions were held in Denton, about 30 minutes north of Dallas). Submitting venue photos is not required but will greatly enhance your bid. Season 19 will take place in the southern region, so any bids must be in one of the following states: Tennessee North Carolina South Carolina Georgia Florida Alabama Mississippi Arkansas Louisiana Texas Oklahoma The following cities have hosted finals in the past: Oklahoma City OK (DCPI-3) Charlotte NC (DCPI-7) Nashville TN (DCPI-13) Dallas TX (DCPI-18) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonW Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Prior to seeing Toby's suggestion I was leaning towards the Tenn/Carolina region - and since I've had myself a very wild weekend in Chattanooga once long ago, I'll second Toby.

Galen Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 While I can agree that the area around Chattanooga is pretty gorgeous, and I think that Finley Stadium is a very nice venue, I think that the venue for world class should be something larger. Something like this, maybe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarOrg Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 While I can agree that the area around Chattanooga is pretty gorgeous, and I think that Finley Stadium is a very nice venue, I think that the venue for world class should be something larger. Something like this, maybe: As long as we don't have to hear "Rocky Top" played between corps performances...ugggghhhh. Any fan wearing orange will not be admitted. I am surprised we have not tried Atlanta but then we probably don't want a Dome finals venue. What about Florida? Weather is nice in winter/spring. Orlando? Tampa? Jacksonville?

Galen Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 I am surprised we have not tried Atlanta but then we probably don't want a Dome finals venue. Wouldn't be too bad in the wintertime, especially given the record turnout that DCI had last season. What about Florida? Weather is nice in winter/spring. Orlando? Tampa? Jacksonville? To quote that guy who has more posts than every other DCP member combined, "Submit a bid!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
