I saw the same "rumor" on the Ralph Englestad web site.  However, I think
that the more fannies you have in the seats the better tournament you have.
Albany was a nice size, Boston was great, Providence was too small (but a
great show!).  I think the 15K minimum is a good idea.  However, if they
ever put it in a dome, I'm quitting.

Another thing is accessability.  Grand Forks looks like it is off the beaten
path.  The venues selected through 06 are in nice places with things to do,
and, not prone to flooding.  The folks I know in Grand Forks are a bit
worried that the Red River is up to its old tricks again and will overflow
its banks.  Something like that can ruin a FF.
