MVC Tourney - stay in STL or rotate?

[Snaggletooth]

My choice would be to move it (but at the very least rotate). KC rocks and has great things to keep the family occupied. STL is rundown slum.

I have to agree with Snaggletooth. My visits to STL have me always coming away as being "run down" and cracking. KC is much higher up IMO. The Sprint Center blows the Scottrade Center away and the Power and Light District around the arena is not comparable to that of STL.

It would also make financial sense to rotate with the best drawing powers being 2 hours away.

But will it happen? NOPE.

It'll never leave STL. KC has a lot more to offer and the fact that the two fan bases that travel the best are closer to KC would make for some fun times. I too would like to see how the Illinois schools would travel. They do pretty well in STL but I'd like to see the numbers if it were moved to the other side of the state. And outside of the tournament, STL really has little to nothing going for it. I know I don't enjoy the city.

Ok maybe i am crazy but I like both cities...I love STL tho...J Bucks is a balling restaurant...I like having the mall around the stadium...I would go to either one to be honest...I think the problem that most ISU Blue fans have to be quite honest is STL...its close enough where in theory we could stay at home so fans instead of going are like WELLLLLL I would waste all the gas....I think farther away would actually help because i may be more of a vacation type destination...

Selfishly, I'd really like to see it come to K.C. because it would be a much easier trip to make. Would take some thinking on how to incorporate the "Arch Madness" concept in K.C., but I bet it could be done somehow.

Are there other acceptable options? Des Moines? Quad Cities?

Des Moines? That was a joke, right?

As a Jays fan I should say KC because it is closer but I love going to the Lou. So i am oging to say - keep it in St. louis!

I think this is a mute point anyway, doesn't the MVC have a contract with St. Louis for at least three more years?

I'm sorry, I did not hear your response as you had it on mute...please repeat!

I should preface this by saying I live right outside of Chicago. I'd like to see it rotated between St. Louis and Kansas City. I think St. Louis has a lot to offer, but making the Shockers and Jays always travel the farthest just doesn't seem right to me.

If they moved it to KC, it wouldn't affect my intentions to go. I do believe it is locked into St. Louis for atleast 3 years, with the MVC having an option for 2 additional years or something like that if they so choose.
