NCAA first and second round games
NCAA Volleyball Championship
USOC Swimming Finals
College World Series

shite I'd kill for BR to have one or two of these. Start building a Quest Center.

Their metro area is very similar in size to BR. But in the past year they have hosted 4 national sporting events.

Baton Rouge has the Bowling Congress scheduled for 2010...

Central to the entire US? I wonder if that helps a little.

They also have a sports commission if I recall correctly that is very prominent in getting sports events there.

Then Jerry Stovall needs to get off his arse and start getting these events to BR instead of hosting a 5k once a month...

Br had NCAA vball & bball last year
LA aquatics is light years behind everyone else
Omaha doesn't have a major city within an hour to compete with

Can't really count cws bc it's there annually, not like they have to rebid every year.

Golfer don't debate with me on this- I will take your arse down

What a lovely shithole to be in in December. Ice storm tonight. Snow and 0 degrees Saturday for the final. Hopefully they'll bring more events to LA/Miss.
