     * Pros: Pretty easy to get to by plane and a good connection to the airport. Staying in downtown is now more viable than during the 2013 meeting (gives a greater choice of hotels). Another good place for weather. The main hall used for plenary sessions at the 2013 meeting was great. The 2013 meeting worked reasonably well, though I recall a fair amount of walking across a long bridge.       * Pros: Pretty easy to get to by plane and a good connection to the airport.

-    * Cons: I think the repeated site is a con. In 2013 I recall some of the meeting rooms being too small (including a smallish auditorium in Tate that required overflow rooms for at least one imporant session). +    * Cons: I think the repeated site is a con (I know where I'd go for a repeated site).

   * (Prisca) Clarification on Fermilab's contribution:  Originally FNAL considered putting in a bid for a site in Chicago, but later decided that it would be better to put resources toward a University bid.  So Bob Bernstein and Marvin Marshak put together the UMN proposal. FNAL is quite happy to help out whichever bid is successful - its just a few scientists at FNAL that are stepping up to the plate to help out the local organizing committee - whomever is chosen.   * (Prisca) Clarification on Fermilab's contribution:  Originally FNAL considered putting in a bid for a site in Chicago, but later decided that it would be better to put resources toward a University bid.  So Bob Bernstein and Marvin Marshak put together the UMN proposal.

   * (Tom Diehl (FNAL)) Least expensive. Probably get the highest participation, even from non-Fermi people.    * (Tom Diehl (FNAL)) Least expensive. Probably get the highest participation, even from non-Fermi people. 
   * (Roger Rusack - Minnesota)  Least expensive. very convenient train to and from airport to the site (30 min) and to downtown St Paul (30 Mins) and Minneapolis (10 min).  Direct flights to Minneapolis from both Japan and Europe.   * (Roger Rusack - Minnesota)  Least expensive. very convenient train to and from airport to the site (30 min) and to downtown St Paul (30 Mins) and Minneapolis (10 min).  Direct flights to Minneapolis from both Japan and Europe.
 +  * (Prisca) Quick response to Mike K: If you look at the proposal you see that the entire conference is on the East Bank campus now (no walking across the bridge unless you want to for the fun of it).  The old Tate Physics is completely refurbished and there is a new Physics Nanotechnology Building, right across the street from the new Recreation and Wellness which has camps for kids and guest passes for adults.   A lot of construction since 2013.
