Has anyone heard why Lindell chose Sioux Falls for the event? I find it intriguing because during a conversation about where the Capitol of the USA would be relocated, that was said to be one of the choices. I think it’s because it is the very center of the country if you include Alaska and Hawaii. (Center of contiguous USA is somewhere in Kansas, I believe.)

I think it is because they can count on Noem not playing any games with Covid restrictions. Rapid City is too close to tourist areas. It would only be distracting to the participants, who would be tempted to bring their families and make sure they go to do fun stuff.
Sioux Falls is actually bigger and has a lot of chain motels less than ten miles from the venue. The venue where it is taking place is owned by the VFW. From my stay in Sioux Falls recently, I can tell you it is full of no nonsense, normal people and has good restaurants.

Actually:
“The geographic center of the US lies within private land near Belle Fourche, South Dakota. The geographical center of the US lies in South Dakota in the town of Belle Fourche. About 20 miles to the north of Belle Fourche at latitude 44 58 02.07622N and longitude 103 46.60283W lies the exact geographical center location of the 50 states of the US.”
