Man you just have some really bad opinions. Again, the event sells out any arena in the country. We do not need to hold it in a wrestling hotbed to show that it’s popular so they can raise prices. It’s not a big money maker for them. They could raise ticket prices $50 and it wouldn’t make a difference to them. It’s a drop in the bucket for them. That’s such a short sighted argument. Great…The NCAA makes more short term money, but loses every program west of Nebraska.
The sport is dying at the NCAA level. Again, holding the event in the only area the sport is popular is a great way to kill off the sport everywhere else.
As for Minnesota/MSP not being a great location…what?!? Let’s compare it to your “great” suggestion of Cincy…. It has way more hotel rooms, more nationally recognized restaurants and bars, the #1 ranked airport in North America(easier and cheaper to fly to than Cincy for the vast majority of the country), better shopping than Cincy, more museums/theaters/music venues than Cincy and actually has multiple venues that could host…which are all in downtown areas that are easy to get to. It has everything a good host city does with potential weather being the only real negative. The northeast is just as likely to have bad weather at that time of year though so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
