There are many locations/venues that can't host the National for one reason or another:
Some venues are too small and/or don't have enough hotel rooms
Some venues are not convenient to airports
Some venues/cities the union stuff too expensive and/or other legal issues
Some venues charge too much for having events in their building
Some venues/cities are not good baseball and/or sports towns
Some venues don't want it scheduled too far in the future.
etc,... etc,... etc,...
After all of this analysis, it turns out Chicago, Cleveland, and Atlantic City are the only ones that check all the boxes with the National committee, BUT after the Atlantic City and Cleveland recent experiences, those two venues are probably now history and this is why Chicago is left standing. So, fortunately or unfortunately, the National will be at the Stephens Convention Center until the end of time.
