Conference Tournament Permanent location....

[pnow15]

The AAC needs a little glamour. And Hartford, a nice city, lacks glamour.
However, their are two cities that could add that little something extra to this dull scenario.
The first being the Big Easy. With Tulane in this conference why not consider New Orleans as the permanent home? It has the hotel rooms, the stadium and is a tourist destination all on its own. Memphis was a little too cold and does not have the same attraction as New Orleans. I thinks fans from all of the conferences would not mind penciling a trip to New Orleans for the tourney. Jazz, food and basketball. Heaven.
The other city is Orlando. It has Disney. And it has a great arena and it has Disney, which has ESPN.
AAC goes to Disney could help this conference image and recruiting and how could ESPN ignore us.

The 'words' AAC and Permanent should never be used together - never.

No easy way to get to NOLA from here. Would much rather have it on Orlando.

How about NYC where it belongs. I don't care if we play outside on a playground court.

Big East is dead...time to move on.

Memphis, Orlando, Hartford, even Tulsa and Cincy will most likely get a shot at hosting, eventually.

I loved my trip to Memphis last year and would go back again if the tourney was held there. Beale St alone was worth the trip. While it would have been nice if it was a bit warmer, it's not like I left the tropics behind when I left Connecticut.

Atlantis. Not the Caribbean resort but the straight up lost city. If no suitable 2000 seat arena then the factory in Chernobyl.
