When is the city selection going to be released?
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say it will move to somewhere around the D.C. area. Whether its around northern VA or Maryland. Datacenters are booming in Ashburn VA, and it would be a great opportunity to expose VEX teams to that field of profession.
As long as they are laying the Redsox 
It could also be at the Pittsburgh convention center, It is huge and would definitely be able to house the tournament
Being from the DC Area, only place you really could do it is in the Washington Convention Center.
I think due to layout of everything there, and cost of everything, especially witth how busy the Center is, it’s not a contender.
Same for Pittsburgh. The total exhibition space isn’t that great and isn’t advantageous to a massive layout for 2 major competitions. Worlds as is uses around 500K sq ft in terms of space for all the divisions.
if it’s held on the east side of the US it’s going to get even harder for asian teams to travel so i dont think that’s very likely. it’s also further from Texas where they have to send all their judges, fields and whatnot from.
What makes somewhere easy or hard to travel to is more about the airport size than the geographic closeness. While Louisville is easy enough for many teams from the US to travel to, as many destinations in the US can get either a direct flight or a short layover to Louisville. However, international teams have a significantly harder time getting to Louisville and often have to connect through two or more airports.
In comparison, somewhere like New York City (not that I’m suggesting to actually move worlds there, i’m just using it as a example) would have direct flights to most large cities in Europe and Asia. This would make it much easier for international teams to travel to Worlds.
Sending fields, etc. from Texas to anywhere in the US seems like it’d be a relatively small percentage of the Worlds budget. A couple of tractor-trailers would probably only cost about $10K or so to drive from Texas to NY (again, just for example), which seems like a lot but is only the registration fees of 10 teams. If you consider the number of teams at worlds, plus other sponsors of the event, it’s a pretty small price to pay.
