they should have it at legion field. srsly.

they have narrowed it down to Birmingham, Cleveland, Columbus, New York, Philadelphia and Phoenix

this oughta be fun.

It would make little sense. Alabama won't even consider going blue, better to hold it elsewhere.

Besides, nobody really wants to go to Birmingham.

As long as they don't come back to Charlotte, ever.

Birmingham has no shot at this. If a Democrat wins the Governor's race in Penna., it will likely go to Philadelphia. Arizona makes the most sense, politically, but Phoenix has a couple of problems, namely SB 1070. Cleveland is an interesting choice as well.

They can come back every year if they want. I liked the $800/night I got for renting my place out.
