The travel argument doesn't wash with me.

The hassle of travel isn't the time in the plane - it's the boarding of the plane at all.

A 4 hour flight sucks. But guess what? So does a 2 hour flight. The extra 2 hours in the air really doesn't make a big difference, IMO.

If you want to say that you've frozen out the fans due to the fact that they can't easily drive to a venue, I understand that. But I don't buy the argument that the travel burden is any more onerous for the athletes. They've lost a day either way. A 2 hour flight to Texas or a 4 hour flight to SoCal or the Northeast - the difference is negligible.
