Orpheus Posted August 20, 2005 Author Share Posted August 20, 2005 I'm with all the folks that say Cincinnati. Paul Brown is absolutely magnificent, perfect for drum corps. Div II/III can be held at UC's Nippert Stadium, which was recently renovated. There's lots of hotels in the area, an amusement park, plus the airport is a major Delta hub. With three Ohio corps, plus Southwind across the river, the place would be packed. DCI '08: Cincinnati, Ohio. I'm all about that, man. Let's get 'er done! ^OO^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom&Phitch Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 A little off topic but, do you think they'll ever have finals in a dome? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomR Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 (edited) you could always bring it to Williams Brice Stadium in Columbia South Carolina. 80,000 seater. and the facilities are awesome. good parking, and good warmup areas. EDIT** had to fix that random URL tag sticking out of my picture ~>conner Edited August 20, 2005 by PhantomR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris ncsu Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Would be our luck that it would be yet another hot, stagnant day in Columbia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orpheus Posted August 20, 2005 Author Share Posted August 20, 2005 Would be our luck that it would be yet another hot, stagnant day in Columbia. Wonder how much worse it would have been the Foxboro, though. - - Talk about miserable weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris ncsu Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 This is true! But considering that that was about the hottest weekend for New England...but would be rather normal for Columbia and points south...we just came in on the wrong side of the odds in Foxboro. A shower felt SO GOOD when I got back Saturday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornline Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 (edited) CINCINNATI!!!!!!!!!! You have Glassmen, Capital Regiment, Bluecoats, Marion Cadets, from OHIO Close by you have Southwind only 1.5 hours away. The midwest is where it is at! Cincinnati is a central location in the midwest. I have seen this city brought up a lot in recent years. What do you think DCI????

Michael Boo Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 I'm a little surprised at all the positive comments for having Worlds in Chicago. As a native of the area (and still area resident) and a graduate from a college in the city, I'd love to see DCI come there. No one is a bigger booster of coming to Chicago for the sites...the INCREDIBLE museums (the world's largest T-Rex, a remarkable aquarium, an immense science museum with the only surviving German U-boat, one of the top art museums in the world, etc., etc., etc.), Navy Pier (a real gas...DisneyWorld compressed into a tight, fun entertainment venue extending out into the lake), a fabulously beautiful lakefront, top restraurants everywhere you look, PIZZA...the list could go on and on and on. However, Soldier Field (soon to be the smallest NFL stadium after Indy's RCA Dome is torn down) has parking that is expensive and requires quite a walk (and the shuttle buses can't be counted on)...(actually, parking closer to downtown makes more sense), the noisy Lake Shore Drive runs right next to the concert side, housing would have to be out in the suburbs, traffic (trust me on this one) to get into the central city is quite bad...some of the worst traffic jams in the country if one is staying at a hotel outside the city, downtown hotels are expensive. I love Chicago, but I see the praise for the city as an emotional response. I just don't see it as being very logical. Of course, if DCI Worlds ever end up in Chicago, the above commentary never happened. :) Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornline Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Micheal, what do you think about Cincinnati? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomR Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 the division 2-3 stadium posted for cincinatti doesn't have a good angle. It seems kind of small. ~>conner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
