Subject: Why all the Texas hate?

I get that it’s hot in Texas but I can’t remember people complaining this much about the weather in Nashville or Orlando, which are not known for cool summers. The hotel is air conditioned. There’s a major airport so airfare is affordable from most places, there’s a free waterpark with admission.If you want to add on a vacation rent a car or take the bus to Austin or San Antonio if Dallas’ offerings aren’t to your liking. So I mean this genuinely — why is everyone SO freaked out about the heat or tourism opportunities?

Becasue they love their politics more than Irish Dance. (NT) -- pathetic, 02:49:50 06/27/24 Thu
- Which party is the intolerant party again? (NT) -- Damn! Dems need to chill, 02:55:57 06/27/24 Thu
- not getting into "Which side" of the politics you stand on....shouldn't it be more important that a dance hobby? (NT) -- just a thought., 15:19:48 06/27/24 Thu
Not necessarily TX, but the sprawl of the location plus the heat too many years in a row. My dancer didn't want another "country-themed" Nationals either. (NT) -- Veteran Mom, 04:24:11 06/27/24 Thu
- Nashville should have been Music themed... it is Music City! (NT) -- Missed opportunity, 07:27:35 06/27/24 Thu
People find a reason to complain every year regardless of location and I’m paying the most EVER for our flights -- ., 06:36:16 06/27/24 Thu
- Interesting you're paying most ever, coming from east coast and my flights are cheaper than nashville -- Despite airline price hikes, 07:35:41 06/27/24 Thu
  - Same for us. Dallas is a hub for many airlines so tickets were cheap for us. (NT) -- Looking forward to Texas!, 08:09:42 06/27/24 Thu

  - We loved Vancouver & plan on going back. (NT) -- Without dance involved, 10:14:06 06/28/24 Fri
It's just a boring place to visit. Not Much to see so adding in the heat and suburban feel just makes it less appealing. Florida has Disney. DC has all the history. Montreal is International. (NT) -- Eh, 19:40:01 06/29/24 Sat
Seriously, all you people act shocked that the Southern Region would actually host the event . . . (NT) -- in the South, 06:42:55 07/01/24 Mon
