Yeah, an office in NYC and the tourney in DC. "Expanding the footprint" or some such metaphor.

They are gonna want it to be in MSG eventually.

I like it right in Indy or Chicago(Prefer Indy).

It's not terrible in DC but Indy does college sports really well and DC is a pro town. Let Indy do what it does best.
