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 (and Cleveland before the IX closed) were the only two cities that check all the boxes with the National committee and this is why they were alternating between these two. Now, since the IX reopened, Cleveland may or may not become a regular venue for the show. And, Atlantic City may or may not also be in the discussion. We shall see.

What? Do you work for the National committee. What a bunch of bullshit. There are places all over the country that can host a national quite nicely.

This is what they have always claimed. I don't agree with them.

The area down by the stadiums, casinos, Fox Theater, etc are much improved. A lot of activity down there. That being said, I don't think Detroit could host the national.
And, yes there are also areas in Detroit as shown in your picture. Just like any other large city.
