It's been pretty much run in "Middle America" as long as I can remember, so it's always seemed like "Screw you east coast" to me, too.

I presume the guys with the big $$$ can go wherever it is. This would be more of a Bucket List thing for me and likely the only chance I'll have to participate from a time, logistics AND $$$ perspective.

It's not a sure thing for me right now, but it d*mn sure has my interest.
