Slingerland Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) It will never be outside again. Too much design work goes into it being in a domed venue, and DCI couldn't afford the hit of a rainout. If they were to look at indoor only locations, Atlanta/Indy/Vegas could make for a fun set, though I'd be scared to see how much Mercedes Benz could cost for three days given what it costs for just one at DCI East.

DAvery Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 How is the Csrrier Dome? Why not just find an indoor facility for DCI East and rotate it between the four domes? Its been SA, ATL, Allentown and Indy, but why not ATL, Carrier Dome, Indy, then SA. The next year Carrier Dome, Indy, SA, the ATL and so forth.

greg_orangecounty Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 What's wrong with the Rose Bowl every year (ucla notwithstanding - ugh)? It's obviously not centraly located, but it's a beautiful location, it will never get rained out, old town Pasadena is fun, plenty of practice and housing options, and its near a large metropolitan city with lots to do besides drum corps (i.e. beach, Disneyland, etc.) And before you say it.......B.D. are going to win at least every other year anyway. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could plan to land in one of 3 airports: Providence as mentioned, Logan in Boston and In Hartford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever the location, DCI needs a lot of cooperation from the community, etc etc. And no not everyone sees the value in what we do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What cities would attract the most fans? Buffalo Whitewater Philadelphia Boston Buffalo? Heck no. Whitewater? How in the world would Whitewater, WI be able to support 20K people? No. Philly? Friendly folks there. No. Boston? Way too congested. No. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
