When was the last time it was on the West Coast? Oregon, how many years ago, 8,9? Denver is hardly the West Coast, and neither is Salt Lake, Beaumont or Kansas. I remember having to fly to Daytona (03) and North Carolina (05), both East Coast within the last 10 years and now Phillie? So let me see, that's 3 times on the East COAST and 1 time on the West COAST in the last 10 years. That's hardly considered ALWAYS on the West Coast. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
