I'm with Audit in that I'm primarily in Frisco for the game itself and that's generally good enough for me but it would be nice if the game was in a place that had more substance and character. Personally, I don't give one shit about going to Twin Peaks or those places. I go because all you are there. Dallas-Fort Worth is just not a very nice area. You have to take freeways everywhere and generally the weather really isn't reliably nice in early January anyway. Perhaps the only real thing that it has going for it is its more central US location that allows many of its most recent participant fan bases to drive to the game.
I love the idea of getting the game to somewhere either reliably warmer in January or in a city with an indoor stadium and some moxy. Minneapolis would fit that description, as would New Orleans, Austin (at least a bit warmer and a very cool town), San Antonio, Tuscon (maybe), Vegas, Seattle (retractable roof), or San Diego if they still have a stadium, not sure.
Note: I know this isn't going to happen.

We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie
