The "hotel room" excuse is just that. It's pure BS... There are plenty in the area..and I say that as someone who knows the area extremely well. There are 46 hotels, with at least 75 rooms in a 30-40 minute drive.... Does the WEC need more than 3500 rooms? Push it out to a 60 minute ride, and you are over 20000 without issue. It's the same stupid excuse that prevents Lambeau from hosting a Superbowl.
Just as comparision... NASCAR has no issue with the hotel room numbers when they've discussed Xfinity, and the Sprint Cup dates....so....yeah. I think we can argue that Sprint Cup might have a slightly larger draw than the WEC.
