Why is there not a Rivals camp in the Chicagoland with as large of a Metropolitan area that we have here? It doesn't make any sense.

Edgy,

You should do your own camp. In my opinion you should break away from Rivals, create your own site, message board, etc. You have a strong enough following where you don't need the "Rivals" name. You have enough connections with coaches, former players, etc. Adapt and overcome. If you need more motivation let me know, I'm here all day

At minimum you alternate between Stl and Chicago. This will be an issue.

Agree but looks like only options for a Chicago kid is Columbus and or Kansas City this yr. last year in St. Louis, it drew from a pretty big radius but what was missing were quite a few Chicago kids who opted to attend the other shoe camp in Addison.

That will be the case if the Rivals Camp was in Chicago on the same day. Kids can not attend both camps nor do every kid get invited to both. The issue to me is having it on the same day as well as not having it in Chicago for two years in a row. On the flip side, Michigan can complain about it NEVER being there.
