Midwest weather is questionable under the best of circumstances. Fall Crown is late Oct - which can sometimes mean snow. So, indoors, generally. Or at least with that option available.
I don't think we've ever done an outdoor coronation, either. Spring Coronation is late April. Think, cold and drizzly to cool and watery sunshine.
MI state parks normally center around beach activities. Not real conducive to other things.
Local schools - not so cheap these days. Hotels tend to (believe it or not) be cheaper, if less useful in terms of space for heavy fighting, etc.
IKA. ;-)
I'm just feeling my way toward a conclusion that an increase in liability issues and custodial costs is driving the costs of larger sites WAY up. And that may start making Kingdom events harder and Principalities make more sense.
