Shoot, Norfolk is still a few hours at least from Charlotte, as is Murfreesboro. I don't get why that would work either.
In order to draw decent crowds, the tournament needs to be co-located with a prominent program.
First, nice jab at the Niners.
Charlotte, is within driving distance of WKU, MT, ODU, Marshall & UAB. If Charlotte gets knocked out you can still expect these schools to send decent crowds. Especially in the semis and finals. You have so many fans that plan on going and go for the long weekend and a good many more that will get in the car and go if their team makes the semi's/finals if it's within driving distance. If none of these teams are in the finals, it's a bust if one is you've got a pretty good crowd, if two are then you would have a good championship atmosphere.
Let's be honest, at no time in the foreseeable future are none of these teams going to be in the finals.
