    The Honda Center in Anaheim would be perfect. However according to Craig Thompson they put out feelers to see if anyone would like to host the tournament and they did not get a very good response.

      If the Honda Center isn't interested, we could buy out the Big West and play at the Anaheim Convention Center across the street from Disneyland.

        The real solution is ESA. BYU and Utah fans would cancel each other out and its in the center of the conference. Just make sure to put BYU and Utah in the late session together on Thursday and the better of the two teams that year gets the late game.

        The issue is, it isn't Vegas, but since they tried Denver, there isn't a reason on earth not to try Salt Lake.

          I vote for the Honda Center (or whatever The Pond is called now). Anaheim! Disneyland! Close to me! What could be wrong with all that???

            Also the place where Utah beat WVa and Arizona to go to the Final Four in '98. Great memories.

              They should do Key Arena. No Sonics anymore, shouldn't be hard to book the building. Seattle has as much connection to the MWC as Anaheim. Plus it would help BYU and Utah impress the P10 when expansion happens.

                Anaheim is only one county away from San Diego, where the Aztecs play. Isn't that close enough?

                  I vote that they have the tournament at Disneyland.

                  They can use the basketball court inside the Matterhorn and the crowds will be right on top of the action.

                    Not surprising. Imagine hearing that the C-USA tourney was coming to SLC? Woo-hoo, Tulsa vs UTEP!
