Welcome one and all to the vote for the host of the 2026 AltCAA Championship game! We received 16 city nominations, though requested for AltFL teams, we received a couple AltCAA cities and one nomination for a city that has neither, so I added them in too! Here are the nominations, and any reason submitted:

Boston, MA - Old North Field, home of the Boston Nightriders
no reason submitted (Deputy Commissioner's note, this city hosts the Beacon Bowl, a playoff bowl so would host a quarterfinal/semifinal game as well) 

Chicago, IL - North Shore Stadium sponsored by Northwestern Medicine, home of the Chicago Cyclones
bc da bean baby lfg 

Hartford, CT - no stadium specified, no team in AltFL or AltCAA
bc it deserves it 

Honolulu, HI - Pineapple Bowl, home of the Hawaii State Hawks
for the beautiful scenery (Deputy Commissioner's note, this city hosts a non-playoff bowl if necessary) 

Los Angeles, CA - Corporate Bank Arena, home of the Los Angeles Sabercats
gotta host in the hustle and bustle with the bright lights of the Hollywood Hills as a backdrop. I remember their stadium situation being f----- up, so yes there 

Miami, FL - Miami Marine Stadium, home of the Miami Hammerheads
I've honestly forgotten who has hosted before so... Miami?  That seems like it'd be a fun city to host! 

Milwaukee, WI - Culver's Coliseum, home of the Milwaukee Mallards
since that city has no college football whatsoever 

Minneapolis, MN - Buffalo Wild Wings Stadium, home of the Minnesota Voyageurs
After this past year, the city needs as many opportunities as possible to celebrate. Also, they do a right good job of it. (Deputy Commissioner's note, this city does host the North Star Bowl, a quarterfinal/semifinal game) 

Orlando, FL - Supernova Stadium, home of the Orlando Galactics
no reason specified 

Philadelphia, PA - Wawa Coliseum, home of the Philadelphia Brawlers
for the semiquincentennial 

Phoenix, AZ - Discount Tire Field, home of the Arizona Scorpions
no reason specified (Deputy Commissioner's note, this location hosts the Avocado Bowl, a quarterfinal/semifinal matchup) 

Portland, OR - Western Cavern Dome, home of the Portland Grizzlies
Because it's cool 

Quebec City, QC - Stade Papineau, home of the Saint Laurent Patriotes
One of the holiest annual American events should take place in the Frenchest part of Canada. 

San Antonio, TX - Alamodome, home of the San Antonio Phantoms
We've had the championship in Dallas, but San Antonio would put the championship game back in the football hotbed of Texas in a new location. 

San Diego, CA - Kingsfan11 Field at Oceanside Stadium, home of the San Diego Destroyers
because if I cant win it, might as well host it. 

Wichita, KS - Lloyd Stearman Stadium, home of the Wichita A&M 29ers
no reason specified
