Bids

Minneapolis beat out several other cities including Fort Lauderdale, Florida (BB&T Center), Providence, Rhode Island, and Long Island, New York, after Austin, Texas served as the host the past three games.[3]
Detroit, Michigan was seen a front-runner for these games as they were a past runner-up, however they did not submit a bid due to a scheduling issue with Ford Field and Joe Louis Arena.[4]
