A plan to have Pokemon go fest 2018 in Charlotte NC.
Pros: airport and public transportation
Infastructure to accommodate 20 thousand people
Multiple parks and stadiums that can be used(independence park, freedom park, bank of America stadium, Charlotte motor speedway)
A good half point between Florida and new York
Good culture in Charlotte
Large Pokemon go player base
Efficient light rail for travel to downtown, restaurants, and shopping centers
Cons: shuttle buses may be needed
Temporary stops will need to be added
This would be more realistic if this was for 2019. There's not enough time to get 15,000 signatures, send it to Niantic, have them discuss it, and contact alot of businesses and establishments to work out some kind of deal to have the event there. This is a fail to start with. Plus, with way more well known and attractive cities out there in the US, they won't come to Charlotte. Not to mention they haven't done an event in New York or Los Angeles, which are the top 2 well known cities in the United States.
