Galen Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Nice sentiment but a lot of wasted typing. I agree with what a previous poster said and that this thread is worthless. So I take it you will NOT be submitting a bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocketman Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Look, I believe it would be a fantastic draw in the mid-west for this reason, they are starved for "real" drum corps. For too long now, the junior corps have decided they want to educate rather than entertain. Rochester was no "prize" as far as the city went, but I flew cross country to be entertained, and I was!

kiltie b.i.g Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Well Camp Randall holds 80,000 meaning 20,000-30,000 on the concert side while Paetec holds 13,500 meaning about 4,000 on the concert side. While DCA is not as widely followed in the midwest, there is no way to know what a championship weekend would draw since Madison is what used to be the heart of the junior activity in the Midwest. Point is there are thousands of fans who might consider coming simply because it is happening close by. In reality, moving the Championships to a non DCA city out of the East would be a huge gamble, but if DCA was in a gambling mood, Madison would probably be one of the safer bets.My only complaints with Paetec are as a spectator and the concert side is simply too small and not high enough. So assuming one has found a good city to host DCA in, the next criteria for me would be one with a better stadium. Columbus Crew Stadium in Columbus and Toyota Park in Chicago are pretty good options. camp randall!! wow! my 1st reply on dcp. as a member of the kilties it would be nice to have it in mad-town. it's a drumcorps town worth the risk. plenty of hotels, the region has very good band support. but push comes to shove, how about WARHAWK STADIUM in whitewater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year they played Northern Illinois. In 2010 they are on the road that weekend, in 2011 back home (UNLV). So you're only going to get one year out of it.

Galen Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I'm surprised nobody's brought up Stony Brook U's stadium on Long Island: I know, I know... submit a bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davla00 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I'm surprised nobody's brought up Stony Brook U's stadium on Long Island: I know, I know... submit a bid. --------- I already have been there done that.... SBU wants $$$$$ for the stadium, either a dci or dca bid would not afford it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gem2497 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 (edited) http://www4.bmo.com/popup/0,2284,35649_21569739,00.htmlPlease come to Canada! I know, passports. On a clear day you can see the Rochester skyline from it! As a Columbus Crew Soccer fan, I am naturally against setting foot in that stadium. Unless it's to watch The Crew beat up on tfc.
