Normally I would agree. Especially if the "question" relates to some verifiable fact but in matters of subjective reasoning many things usually come into play, most of which will never be illuminated for obvious reasons. i.e.. Maybe just maybe, it is as simple as the BigWigs have expense accounts to use and enjoy for such things...a little winter vacation of sorts...simple understandable answer but I don't think you would ever get such an answer. Do you? As for as logistics of weather and many other concerns go, Dallas would have been better for most of us... not hard to figure that one.
Well, certainly if it's just a matter of the old guard wanting a few days in a warmer climate then one would never get a straight answer. It's not just a coincidence that there isn't a "Cheese Bowl" held at Lambeau Field in Green Bay each New Years. I haven't gotten quite that cynical though....yet.
. I've also done enough business travel (Delta Million Miler) that a business trip is still a business trip, even to a warmer climate. Have you flown much lately? Most (all?) of the "glamour" and fun is gone, even if you're riding up in the front cabin. It's more like herding cattle these days. When it got to the point that I started to make a point of wearing slip on shoes to make it less awkward to get through security, I knew we'ed passed the point of no return.
There are a bunch of reasons to justify any particular location for such an event. Climate, population density, vendor locations and their costs to show up, etc, etc. This just seemed to me to be another of those threads that's going to end up in rank speculation and an excuse to kick the AMA around like a football. One might not get a straight answer out of Muncie, but OTOH there's not going to be an answer here, either.
And I assume that KE know's it's not in Ontario, Canada.
