Of course this will overlap perfectly with Russian and Japanese nationals. Who needs sleep during Christmas anyways?

Wait, it looks like the schedule says it starts on January 23rd?

US Nats would never be held during (Gregorian calendar) Christmas; the schedule says late January?

I don't watch RusNats, and although I would love to watch Japanese Nats, the time of day and finding a stream is too hard.

Christmas is safe for me

Not Olympic year, events can be held later in month?

lmao I'm so dumb this is really embarrassing. Apparently I can't read months properly. It is really late this year though, just about two weeks before 4CC

why do they keep giving nationals to san jose? they've had it 3 times in the last 10 years.

We'll we're starting early this year... It's only March!

Yes, I long for the days when they moved them around. Now they just seem to be in the same few cities.

I've been to San Jose for Nationals twice, and I really like it. There's a hotel right near the arena---it's a quick 10 minute walk, and there's a Whole Foods near the hotel. The weather is great---not too cold.

Well, Greensboro has had it twice since I've been attending. Some reasons: People (like me) seem to enjoy the weather there in January, compared to freezing places like St. Paul and Kansas City. And also, there's Southern hospitality. It's noticeable.

Chris Cooper has praised San Jose for the same reasons as chuckm did ^^^. I'd love for Detroit to get Nationals again soon. It's a really, really amazing facility. And anyone who needs special help is readily given it.

Greensboro had a website up - a real one, not a page on the USFS site - immediately after Detroit Nationals.

They give it to cities that bid. We don’t know who is bidding.

That’s a normal time. It was early this year due to the Olympics.

Detroit was amazing to be sure.

I am sorry but I am confused.....all I get is page not found. Didnt the program for Nats 22 say that 23 would be late January? When is Japanese Nats? Normally its around Christmas?
If anyone has more recent info than I about the Arena hotel, please share. When I called, they said check 3 month out from event. They were in grave danger of being sold out and possible torn down for another hotel or ?.
