Pitt is the closest, but Nashville is the better city. Charlotte is another possibility and it is only about 5 and a half.

Pitts actually the furthest, but they are all ~275 miles. Charlotte is like 7.5 hours.

Whoever can get to Charlotte in 5.5 hours well done. I used to do it in 7 and felt like I was hauling ass.

Detroit is by far the easiest drive from Cincinnati. Literally straight up 75...only two turns the whole trip, one getting on the expressway in Cincinnati and one getting off of it at Woodward Ave.

Pittsburgh, 5 hour drive.
Detroit is, well Detroit.

All three would be great...as long as the second round team is not from the immediate neighborhood.

Just make sure when you take that one turn in Detroit that it's your last turn. Take a couple more and you may think you ended up on a set from an 80's apocolyptic film.

Just mapquested it. 6hrs and 6 minutes from my location near Columbus. It is a 383 mile drive. Under six is possible maybe 5 and a half is a stretch.

Maybe John Carpenters Escape from Detroit.

Prefer Nashville or Pittsburgh. If you fly to Detroit in airport learn to say "allahu Akbar" as you go through TSA.

Where are the Regionals for Pittsburgh, Nashville and Detroit?

Wherever the committee places them in the bracket on selection Sunday. We can guess but don't know until then.

my son, is that not a trifle early? how much daylight you gonna be working with? of course it's undeniably beautiful any time of year. i'd love to see it in the winter. that's when the aurora's the best, with the clearer skies. we didn't get to see the aurora when we went last september. our air bnb host in the west fjords flipped on a light switch to indicate what was truly amazing. i replied that since it's man's quest to find out all the answers, they could never impress me. to which he responded by abruptly going to bed and souring towards me the following day. lovely house though. a remote horse farm on the edge of a fjord at the cusp of the north atlantic. he claimed it was the most remote horse farm in the entire world

i hate to be the bearer of bad news, but nashville is in the central time zone. the drive to pittsburgh flies by somehow. i've only made the drive oncet and fort pitt lives up to the hype. the drive to detroit is best done at night. on the southside of detroit there is a city of industry that illuminates the land for thousands upon thousands of untold acreage. it's breathtaking

i like pittsburgh more than smashville if only for the washed up steelworker than the washed up wanna be cowboy. which is what i aim on becoming

I like Pittsburgh as a destination more than Nashville. Always had a great time there.

One of the best sporting events I have ever attended

I remember sitting there at halftime thinking "this was a long way to drive to watch this crap"

Then Mardy decided to do something fantastic on the 2nd half kickoff and my thoughts changed to "you know...we're not out of this yet"

I'd prefer a Friday/Sunday location.

Late night Saturday game could make for a very long day.

The friend I was with wanted to leave after that Pitt touchdown. I convinced him to stay and my exact words were if Mardy returns this for a TD then we have a chance....
