Its hosted a finals before so I would imagine that housing is not an issue. Weather needless to say is perfect in early August. Niagara has lots of entertainment to keep anyone busy during the week. Don't remember the year,but my wife and I were there the year the Cadets did their WWII show and came in second to BD. Anyway,it was raining so hard in the afternoon,there was a question whether they would be able to have Finals. A number of people were actually using the port o lets to try and stay dry. The weather cleared around 4:00-5:00. At show time the field had drained,but the synthetic turf was slick. In fact 2 Cadets slipped and went down. Again,I don't see DCi wanting to risk anything messing up finals by holding them outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather in Early august is glorious in the area. Mall of the Americas would provide some entertainment and can host the festivities during the week. This is one i'd really like to see. Minneapolis is a great city in August, and i believe the schools don't kick off in the MSP area until september. Either University of Minnesota or the Vikings stadiums would make great host stadiums. Plus MSP is generally easy to get in and out of being a Delta hub. Edited October 1, 2019 by AlexL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( I think it was PR) Now that of course can all change if these types of locations stop working with DCI to make it fiscally possible. agree, i can't see DCI ever not having finals in an enclosed/domed/echo chamber venue 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just fantasizing about finals in the Rose Bowl. And Denver. That was great, too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone wants to end a season like that 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
year1buick Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I can think of just one— San Antonio. (I’m biased, of course.) It even has a large convention center adjacent to the stadium (well, across the freeway, but still within walking distance) that could be used for warmups. Getting to see all of the corps in late July is pretty great, but having the big show once in a while would be awesome too. But it’s all a pipe dream anyway... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish the hotels were closer to the Alamodome like Indy and Atlanta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjoakes Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Even though LOS is an hour drive for me, I’d gladly travel elsewhere. But gotta have a dome: I’m not spending money on flights and hotels to get baked or soaked. But if this Fantasy Championships: Atlanta, San Antonio, Pasadena, Stanford. Also, let’s include 27th Lancers and an all-male Madison Scouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
