Guys, stop aimlessly suggesting locations. The organisers aren't going to even consider your city/state unless you find them a suitable venue that can fit hundreds of people and has a large hotel. I cannot even think of such a place near me (not that it matters, I live in Canada), but as you can see from past nationals, it should be some large resort or tourist attraction with a lot of empty/open space.

*has submitted a proposal with those things*

Los Angeles has the LA convention center which apparently is a, "leading destination for conventions, trade shows, and exhibitions." :)

There you go! Now that is a suggestion. If you ever want to suggest a city for a big comp like US Nats or if you want to organise a competition, finding a suitable venue is the single most important step.

I was partly talking about KC because Garrett said he submitted a proposal.

Oh, ok then. I personally would like to see Nats in LA.

You forgot the "way out of the US Nationals budget" part. Convention centers are already for the most part out of our reach, and when you consider that LA is one of the most expensive cities in the USA, it's a pipe dream.

Just about every major city has a convention center, which doesn't justify your backyard bias at all. But thanks for taking the time to do a 10 second google search. Selecting a nationals venue takes a lot more research/pain than that, and 0% of our venues have been selected due to competitors submitting I-want-it-in-my-backyard proposals.
