I went to the 94 tournament. Was a hell of a final. Talked to some people from podunk Kentucky, and they said that if their team wasn't in it, there's no way they would have come to Louisville to watch it, and if it wasn't in Louisville a whole lot more people from their community would have come to watch their team. People in some areas do dislike Louisville so much that they will not come to events in Louisville to drive attendance down. Heard that at different times at other events as well, not just sporting events, and especially the state fair. That one has a lot of resentment but it's too important to the state economy to be moved and risk either someplace not having the facilities to accommodate it, or the biggest population center of Jefferson county not attending as well as if it was in their backyard.
