I could see this in Los Angeles and New York but most other cities are fairly reasonable in regards to costs. Chicago has the worst labor costs I believe
Chicago's certainly aren't awesome but for the setup labor you are probably looking at for an MLG event LA and NYC are the worst. There is a reason a dinky house in chicago is like 300k and in LA it's 600k. But by all accounts each city has venues not within city limits that could have easily been used, Chicago for sure.
Anyways, the rest of the venues are great and all and VP will certainly be attending. Just wish there was a more Midwest venue.

Yeah, more of those "hugely successful event" like that in Dallas please.

I was just in Anaheim for a YCS(I was one of the 3 score-keepers for the event) and flew into John Wayne in Santa Ana. Getting from Airport to Hotel is $10 a person via Super Shuttle. You can book them for Hotel to Airport also. I booked the round trip and for 2 people it was $36(they did a discount). I can't remember if the discount was for 2 people OR because I booked both ways.
Anyways.... Super Shuttle worked for me

This this this. Chicago would be awesome. I'm hoping for next year.

If it wasn't answered already, anyone can buy a pass online and play. You don't have to do anything other than buy the pass and show up on time.
The only limiting factor is that passes can sell out quickly. So if you want to get a pass, enter all your payment info on MLG's website beforehand, and log on the minute passes become available. There were instances in 2008 with Halo 3 where passes sold out in like 10 minutes.

Locations don't cater to Canada, Mexico, Europe, Australia, or Asia 
But some of us live on Can't wait to watch a hopefully excellent stream!

They get money from the games that they use (aka that's why CoD is on the PS3)
