I would be curious to see exactly how many people attending worlds are cheerleaders/their family and how many just came to watch. I would guess that most are cheerleaders/their family. Since that seems to be the most likely case, one of the easiest ways to solve it would be cut the teams that get bids. I know it is something for USASF to make money however if we want worlds to be the cream of the crop, the BEST teams in the world, and a prestigious event that will promote cheerleading as a REAL sport - teams need to be cut anyway; it is only a plus that it would make the venue less packed.
I cant really think of a venue that is better then Disney although I hate to admit it. (I have had enough Mickey in my past 12 years of cheer!)
California seems OK and may seem fair to the west coast teams that consistently have to travel, but when it comes down to it, they always have to travel because the MAJORITY of teams are from the east coast. Economically, it doesnt make sense to be on the west coast. East coast teams trying to save money COULD drive or bus to Orlando if they wanted, they couldnt do that to Cali and flights are almost double in price when comparing flights to Orlando or California.
Dallas seems OK, however it already hosts NCA and who really wants to go to the same city twice in the matter of 3 months? Same goes with Atlanta.
New York City seems like an OK location, a big attraction for international teams, many large venues, however travel to NYC is probably just as expensive as Disney or maybe even more expensive with the added danger of a huge city. Yes, Disney can be dangerous as well - but not as bad at NYC.
When it comes down to it, Disney is the most sensible even though the venue isnt working. If your smart, it will work for you. If you are THERE for cheerleading - you will get up at 7 am, get a good seat even if it is alot of teams you may not really WANT to watch, and you will sit there all day just to have a good seat later.
For the people who didnt make it to finals, went to the park or layed at the pool and then went over to the venue 30 minutes before large senior - did you really expect to get a seat??
Everyone is going to have reasons why they like and dont like each location, if it was up to me - worlds would be in the brand new CONSOL energy center in Pittsburgh so I could sleep in my own bed. However, thats not going to happen. I think it is best if it just stays at Disney and other things such as limiting bids are changed in order to give some organization to the event. Lately, it seems to me that USASF has been giving in to Susie alot: making 4.2, adding assisted tumbling???, making new divisions. I dont see hockey, baseball, soccer, and football doing this. If we want to be a sport, we need structure. I think it is time for USASF to stand their ground and say, it is at Disney, it is staying, DEAL WITH IT!
