UC bid for the final 4 lost out to...

Columbus
Dallas
Houston
Nashville
New Orleans
Pittsburgh
Tampa Bay

DOME?

Most of those cities don't have domes either. The only reason I can come up with for favoring Nashville's small-ish arena over Chicago would be issues regarding hotel taxes.

if you are going to not travel to a city because of a higher "hotel tax", then you probably shouldn't be travelling at all.

So a Dome doesnt help get this event? Maybe even makes you not only a favorite, but part of a regular rotation of once every 10 years for this event....and maybe a few of those others shitty events that when the people from everywhere else look at their hotel bill and have a coronary at the extra taxes here for staying in a hotel.

No, Hussra cleared it up. Those are Women's bids. They'd never do the real Final Four in Pittsburgh.

Agree, but when Associations are offered pitches for their members to attend events, those cities who dont charge 17% more for hotel taxes make sure they point that out and it is an issue in this cities expo business going down.
