I want Nationals to be held in Cincinnati, Columbus, or Cleveland!
The last major thing I've heard of from here was 1987 Worlds in Cinci...
Nationals was in Cleveland in 2000 and 2009. :yes:

The main consideration in choosing a site for Nationals, is to find a city/lpcal skating club that is willing to host it. It costs a lot of money and the organizers must devote countless hours to dashing about trying to round up local sponsors.
I remember at 2007 Nationals in Spokane, the State of Washington promised to contribute $100,000. But right then the bottom fell out of the U.S. economy, the State of Washington was teetering on the brink of bankruptcy, and the state legislature had to reneg on it's offer, leaving the local organizing committee holding the bag. This despite the fact that this Nationals set the all-time attendance record.

Stupid question: when did Alridge/Eaton get back together? I thought they split.
Every time Figure Skating or Gymnastics nationals comes to the Twin Cities I manage to miss it. Next time I'm determined to make it.
I think we're more suited for Gymnastics nationals though. People don't really want to travel to Minnesota in the winter and I can't say I blame them.
I may or may not be already cackling with glee at how cold the fans are going to be at the Super Bowl this year. Especially those who are coming here from warm states.
Are Hubbell and Donahue sick? I think I saw them signing autographs yesterday with masks on. Must not be too bad if they can still do publicity stuff.
What would be a nice place for figure skating ? Boston proved itself, I think Michigan would be great (next year I think ?). There are so many people ready to come to nationals, slight issue : this country is just too huge
I am so excited that Nationals are in my hometown Detroit next year at our brand new arena. Last time we had Nationals there was the wack heard round the world.
Same. Is the qq one working today?
