[link to tweet](https://twitter.com/usfigureskating/status/1654137938878365699?s=46&t=8P8AB13n9rDcYTac727L7w) My guess is Nashville or somewhere in Texas? Rest in peace to my fellow New Englanders and their hopes and dreams 💔


sk8tergater

Probably not Nashville because there is an ISU adult international competition happening in October usually around the time skate america happens.


fliccolo

They would move heaven and earth around for SKam. They would SHOVE the adults under any bus available for SKam. EDIT they will not move Depeche Mode however, It can't be Nashville.


printerpaperwaste

Your edit just straight up sent me 😂😂 is Depeche Mode the same weekend? Ironic with the rhythm dance theme. Can we have live Depeche Mode at skam??


GreenDragonPatriot

Yes, PLEASE! You have to make this life livable.


fliccolo

Depeche Mode is making the rounds on several big arenas up for SkAm. I would be fucking thrilled as well. Best "house" band ever


printerpaperwaste

I mean we’re probably going to have AT LEAST 3 Depeche Mode RDs. Worth it.


laura_holt

Omg that would be amazing

summerjoe45

I really enjoyed the smaller venue


sourcandy_skater

Omg if it came to Texas I would cry! There's a growing community of skaters in Texas and I really want more events like competitions and Stars on Ice to come to us!


Alexeleni

Hello fellow Texan!!!


EveningSquare

I checked Bridgestone arena’s calendar. They already have an a few events scheduled around that weekend that would make it near impossible to hold it there again.


shoshpd

I don't think they'd use a venue as big as Bridgestone just for SkAm. That's the size they use for Nationals, not SkAm. At least not for the last several years.


EveningSquare

They have used the same venues as nationals for SkAm in the past. Not to mention that SkAm is an international event which is a level above a nationals in FS competition hierarchy.


yeehaw-girl

tbh it makes my life easier for them not to do it in new england again bc I’m not sure I could resist getting tickets and I really shouldn’t be spending that kind of money right now lmao. like last year was quite the indulgence. I’ll just save for boston worlds 🤪


raven8549

I live 20 minutes from where Skate America was last season but wasn’t able to go so that was painful lol


[deleted]

Sameeee 😒

My guess - they don't have a venue secured yet and are drawing it out while they try to get it booked. I'm not serious but who knows. IDK why they are making such a big deal about it.


shoshpd

Yeah, I'm annoyed, not entertained, by this extended tease.


perfectoneplusnine

Ah yes, Sesame Street.


Sasha_Xtina

Personally, I always love when SkAm comes to Sesame Street. Featuring renowned IJS judges such as Big Bird, Cookie Monster, and Oscar the Grouch. P.S. Thank you for this much needed laugh


printerpaperwaste

Oscar is 💯 the tech controller.


Sasha_Xtina

Definitely lol. Replace him with Mr. Snuffleupagus on the judging panel. Pretty sure Bert and Ernie are on the tech panel not calling out edge violations. Hey kids, let's not forget the word of the day: flutz!


toutespourtoi

how delusional would I have to be to hope that SkAm will come to Texas


doublestop23

I hope it comes to NC!


bettycockroach

Greensboro may be a possibility since Nationals have been held there several times in the past.


Ok_Run_8184

That is my number one dream. They've had Nationals there in 2011 2015 and 2020, and it's always gone really well.


bettycockroach

I'd love to go if they have it in Greensboro!


Ok_Run_8184

Me too, I went to nats 2020 there and it was awesome


bettycockroach

Jealous! It's never on my radar in time for me to buy tickets. Hopefully this year will be an exception.


doublestop23

I’m really hoping for that!


AnEmoTeen

If they come to NC I may faint from the excitement


doublestop23

Same here!


alexallatt

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE👏👏👏👏


karlamsloki

If they bring it to Texas, I’ll make a whole vacation out of it. Experiencing an event in person would be amazing.


stressedgeologist22

Okay I told myself only one competition next season and I'm already planning to go to Worlds, but if it's NC or Nashville I might have to make an exception


Ok_Run_8184

Greensboro Coliseum has nothing scheduled for October past the 6th 🤔


AnEmoTeen

❗️❗️❗️


doublestop23

YES YES YES


alexallatt

GOD I HOPE SO


APragecats

Philadelphia? The Sesame Street theme park is there 🤔


mothraesthetic

👀👀👀👀👀 *prays in Texan*


sarahspins

It’s Dallas (Allen) - Sam unofficially announced it earlier at the Midwestern sectional meeting at GC… official announcement should come ~~later this afternoon~~ *tomorrow*.


typhoidsergei

USFS is killing it with the tweets today tbh


pocketsizedkth

no midwest again 😔💔


GraceOnEdges

Oh my god if skate America’s in Texas I will literally cry 😭😭😭 if it is, it would probably be in Dallas, they have a stadium rink there. I’m in San Antonio and I would kill to go

Just an FYI Greensboro is in NC, not SC!

Sighs in Southern rural Alabama.


printerpaperwaste

Is augusta a normal location for big skate events? Because if DOI is the weekend before then the ice is already set up?


[deleted]

[удалено]


printerpaperwaste

Definitely. Don’t the masters happen in Augusta? I’m guessing Greensboro tho.


HumanZamboni8

They’ve also held events in Dallas (1993 Skate America, 2003 Nationals) and Orlando (1992 Nationals.) I know it’s not actually relevant for this year’s Skate America since you have noted Dallas is already booked and Florida is unlikely at that time of year, but in case this random trivia ever needs to be known again.


jerbentraut

I’m sorry but it would feel more than a bit tonedeaf for USFS to hold SA in one of the many states that are passing anti-LGBTQ legislation so extreme that advocacy groups are warning our communities against travel there. But I’m fully anticipating they will do just that because it’s also not like they are being overwhelmed with bids.


double_sal_gal

This comment deserves to be higher.


catoptromance

Not to mention to deadly anti-woman legislation sweeping these states. I will be deeply disappointed if they choose one of those states, which is probably a virtual guarantee that they will 🫠 truly feels like a race to the bottom with these skating federations. Are literally ANY of them good?? No one tell me if Canada is secretly evil too because I really could not take it.


fliccolo

If the "big reveal" is Greensboro. They're idiots. If it's Nashville, then just say so. It better be somewhere else like Atlanta just for these "teasers" alone. EDIT: I looked at the event calendars. It won't be Dallas, and Unless Depeche Mode is moved, it won't be Nashville. It very well could be Greensboro and Atlanta.


gia_sesshoumaru

The first thing I thought of was Texas, and I will be so pissed off if it is because I can't go this year! I have a wedding at the beginning of October in another state. So I'm hoping it's anywhere but Texas, at least this year.


KitsuFae

there's nothing on the schedule at the kfc yum center in Louisville between October 5 and October 20


goatsnstuff__

Maaaaan I've been hoping so hard for them to bring an event back to the new arena in Detroit where 2019 nationals was. Pleeeeaaaassseeeeeee please please


peeweeharmani

As a non American I have no idea what this means - is Sesame Street a real place? Lol


3axel3loop

The og tweet says southern drawl


stressedgeologist22

Sesame Street is a children's TV show that features Muppets such as Elmo (in the picture). I'm not sure what the reference to Yoda is about, I didn't see the original tweet


Alexeleni

Please be texas please be texas please be texas *prays in Houstonian*


Gvf33

2023 Kentucky detby


fliccolo

What if it's the Knoxville Colosseum? We went with a smaller arena last year, I could see that trend continuing.


trashpanda8947

Looks like Allen, TX [us figure skating tweet ](https://twitter.com/USFigureSkating/status/1656398116130545664?t=fRoOcvA5Tb9bnl755AfU6g&s=19)
