Is it really Indy or Chicago almost every single year. Has it ever been in Philly?

Just DC and NY from an east coast perspective. Philly would be interesting and drivable for RU, Maryland and PSU. Though I think the conference would prefer to be showcased in NYC.

With 11 of the 14 teams in the Midwest, Chicago and Indianapolis will get it more often, but I think the plan is to have DC and NYC as routinely rotated alternatives. Maybe something like Chicago-Indy-DC-Chicago-Indy-NYC, etc. Honestly, I was thinking the other day that Minnesota and Nebraska actually kind of get screwed the most, lol. Illinois probably is in the best spot, as Chicago is a literal home game, and Indianapolis is very close. IU and Purdue have it great when it's in Indy, and they also have a lot of alumni in Chicago when it's there. OSU, Iowa, Wisconsin and both Michigan schools are pretty short drives from one of Indy or Chicago, and then the eastern schools get a quasi-home game every few years (NYC for RU and DC for UMD, with PSU having a lot of alumni in both areas). Nebraska and Minnesota have to travel a long way no matter what, and they don't have a lot of fans in any of the locations. And no, I didn't forget Northwestern ... they don't have many fans to begin with! :)
