I would think the Hard Rock would be a good place to host it but again, the transportation issue.

A Miami Beach commissioner has proposed bringing it back to SoBe (Lummus Park). It's on the agenda to be discussed at next week's (May 22nd) commission meeting.

Likely the real issue is money.....as in the rent/associated costs like police for the event is too high so the promoter gambles and threatens to move the event to a cheaper venue.

The politicians always want to promote their city, claim huge revenue gained by such events but I'd guess with all the numbers involved it is a tough "profit" to prove. To me it is a bunch of out of town drug addicts coming to Miami.

From everything I've heard, this doesn't have a chance in hell of getting approved. In fact, I doubt if a vote to bring Ultra to Lummus Park would garner more than one affirmative vote. On the other hand, several City of Miami commissioners are having second thoughts about losing Ultra and are contemplating inviting it back to Bayfront Park downtown.

"It just reminded me of being in a relationship, then breaking up with someone that you’re not ready to stop dating,” said Commissioner Keon Hardemon at a sunshine meeting Tuesday.

Hardemon and three other commissioners pondered the possibility of getting Ultra to return to the city — specifically, to Bayfront Park, which the city had kicked the festival out of. The discussion came at a time Ultra is in talks with several other South Florida municipalities over where next year’s festival will be held.
At a meeting where commissioners were allowed to discuss topics but not to take any votes, they agreed to reopen a formal conversation at a future meeting.

There is no way on Earth they are going to close Lummus Park down that long for Ultra.
