for about twice what you can build a stadium now for, you could build a stadium that could float in the air and be towed by millions of blue Morpho butterflies from city to city on a rotational basis each year.
My pick is Nashville. It's not too cold in the winter there and usually to mid-sized cities can really do wonders to them, and there is a decent hotel selection for a city of its size. Also, the Titans have been struggling as of late, so it would provide some needed revenue for the region/team.
Charlotte's stadium is small and outdoors too. That doesn't help
Bank of America Stadium seats over 73,000 people - without the need to temporary seating that Lucas Oil Stadium, Raymond James Stadium and University of Phoenix Stadium need to get above 70,000. So Carolina's stadium is not small given it's in the 10 in the NFL for capacity.

I am surprised. Jacksonville was able to host, so I would guess Charlotte would have just as many, if not more hotels within the city and surrounding towns.
Both have modern facilities located on transit close to downtown and close to the waterfront areas.
Chicago would make an awesome host as well.
Philadelphia would make a good host, but my concern would be the stadium being just a little further from downtown than I'd personally like. I don't think it would hurt the overall event, but my preference would be for something closer to the city center.

Charlotte's lack of hotels was a big issue. They have tried to remedy that since now Charlotte has built a solid amount of hotels in the downtown core. I think a 1000 room hotel is what they wanted or something like that and The West in Charlotte is "only" 700 rooms.

That's because they brought in cruise ships to make up for their hotel room deficit, without them they would not have been able to host.
