Reactions:
- Two Seed Obliteration Complete - Portland ME taking down Vegas has to be the biggest upset of this round, and I'm still a little bit confused as to why. We've been to Vegas and everyone has an opinion one way or another, but a small northeastern city with a difficult airport and no real draw? Are we that into the L.L. Bean store?
- Staying Domestic - Dublin predictably fell to a surprisingly plucky Atlanta, meaning we're once again not venturing outside the USA. I really like Montreal as a favorite next year, which may pave the way for more adventurous options, but ATL does seem like a city of destiny.
- Tampa Update - Another relatively close call for the Overall #1 seed saw the party lines stay the same as Round 1. Philly never really had much of a chance, but things are about to get a lot more difficult.
- City Spotlight: Atlanta - Similar to Chicago last year, ATL is one of the easiest cities to get to in America, and we would all get to enjoy Delta flights rather than slum it somewhere else. The Braves have home games on both the Thursday and Saturday, so that may alter our schedule but will likely be worth it to watch one of the most exciting teams in baseball. And I've heard from multiple people that the Coca Cola museum is actually really cool for those interested. I've said all this without mentioning that ATL is the strip club capital of the world, where you can order world class wings "Lemon Pepper Extra Wet" from the employees. I don't see a downside.
