A conversation over on the Weber State forum about a move:

Boise would be worse than Reno. To me SLC would be ok, Vegas the best . Why can't they pick a site that has lots of flights coming in.

It can't be much worse than getting to Reno. Boise is at least a drivable distance from Bozeman in one day when the roads are good.

Will Billings be considered again?

Billings might not want the Big Sky after their success with the NAIA Women's tourney.

Agree with this - anywhere that's a reasonable one day drive to get to is fine with me. Someone on the Weber State forum says it will be Boise for 3 years starting in 2019. The arena there looks like a nice size and fans from the schools that actually travel well (sorry Sac State) can get there more easily.

If the Big Sky wants a "neutral" site that puts the most rear ends in seats Billings is the choice.

My guess is Boise.

Not Boise...Nampa. Which is a whole different City from Boise, and a pretty big one too with over 90,000 people which is up from 50,000 in 2000. Quite a fast growing place. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nampa,_Idaho

Maybe-trying to break the bedroom town to Boise stigma they'll really embrace the tournament and make it their own thing...one can hope.
