Completely opposite opinion, it's a disadvantage to have the tournament in 1 city.

It's a presitige event and a bigger deal when the games are across the country/continent. Tickets sell out just as fast.

All star games and drafts are 2-4 day events maximum. Having a 2 week event, various clubs would like to share in that.

The reason the PA had travel concerns last time round was the games were on 2 different continents, North America and Europe. Travel on 1 continent is not an issue with the PA.
