I wouldn't expect it to be played 1/2 the time in North America and 1/2 the time
in Europe, because 1/2 the interest is not in North America, and a great
majority is in Europe. I would like to see the venue change every few years
though. Maybe have it in Europe for 2 years, then maybe North America one year,
then back to Europe, then maybe an Asian country, at least for a little variety.
If I could afford it (and maybe I could if I tried to save up for it) I would
love to visit different parts of the world. I think if it was in the same place
in Europe every year, even if I could afford it, I wouldn't go more than once,
because that added bonus of getting to see some place new would be gone after
the first trip. That is, of course, unless I had an engine capable of winning
such an event.
