Not sure you using NO is a good example. I wasn't upset when OSU had to play LSU in NO last year, because I think anything that could be done to help the victims of Katrina would be a good thing. I'm sure they apprecitated all of those Buckeye dollars. But people do take issue with NO for a variety of reasons, I'm sure NO looks nice, but the immediate outskirts are probably still a mess, lets also not forget about the high crime rate and peoples religious/moral issues with the town. There are also problems with the other cities you listed when it comes to crime especially, but it doesn't really matter. I used Detroit, because it was just about the worst northern destination I could think of. High crime rate, high unemployment, and poor weather. However, there are a few promising destinations as well. Even having a game at Lucas Oil stadium, its a dome and the surrounding area is nice. Why not hold a BCS game in the Chicago area, they are being considered for the Olympics, so why aren't they good enough for the BCS. All I can say is you Western and Southern teams, don't want to play a game up north in the winter time and we both know why. Those gimicky, high powered passing attacks don't work to well at 30 degrees and in the snow.
