Texoma getting BassFest in 2016 but doesn't have the facilities to host the Classic at present and I doubt they have the money either.

It will be either Shreveport or New Orleans. My money is on Shreveport.

Rayburn has the same issue. Lacking the necessary facilities to host the event and the money.

Choctaw is awesome and going to be great for BassFest but not big enough for Classic. The expo space requirement is massive 100,000+ square feet and they need an big arena capable of 15,000+. Choctaw doesn't have it. Their new event center is 5500 seating and they have around 20,000 square feet of meeting space. Also Choctaw can't afford the host fee alone or should I say it's doubtful they would pay it.

Sam Rayburn is handicapped by the lack of venues for the expo and weigh in there's not even a civic center closer than Lufkin to hold anglers meetings at. While the lake has a couple of excellent on the water pavilions it does not even meet the criteria for a bass elite tournament. Also they don't bring those for free it requires thousands of dollars in up front money by the host areas. I would love to have one close (went to the one on the Red River in 2012 it was amazing) but the area around Rayburn is too Rural I am afraid

San Antonio can host this event, but the choice of lakes would be suspect. Canyon, or Calaveras or the only two, unless they decided to travel from Choke Canyon to San Antonio for the weigh in. That is 87 miles, but with police escort (like they do in Alabama) it is doable.
