Curious of cost wise between NCA and Cheersport.
In general is it cheaper to fly into Atlanta or Dallas? (obviously starting location makes a difference, so Rays and Cheer Athletics shouldnt answer this... maybe someone who flys to both?)
Competition feels are about the same in the end?
How is dining? hotel fees? getting around? entertainment?
if you can exclude travel how do they compare?
id rather have 5 big events EVERYONE attends all year than the way it is now.
from MD/DC, airfare to Atlanta is generally cheap thanks to Airtran... and if need be, the distance is a doable drive (8-10 hours). a "cheaper" airfare to Dallas is usually around $250, gets well over $300 closer to the date and direct flights become scarce.
dining, hotel, shopping are comparable to each other and still cheaper than home, so that's a wash. I do like that majority of the teams at NCA are downtown in the same hotels, i've seen more of a sprawl in Atlanta (from downtown, airport, midtown, buckhead, etc).
i prefer the NCA shuttles versus MARTA, car rental or walking.
NCA arena > everything on God's green earth.
Dallas is worth the extra $100 for me.
