OK, I don't know how anyone from the suburban sprawl of Bucks County can complain about the traffic in St. Paul, but every one is entitled to their opinion.
Relative to Bloomsburg, yes it is an old facility. In addition, it's a "county" fairgrounds vs a "state" fairgrounds like the facility in St. Paul, so you're comparing Apples and Oranges. For the type of facilities that we seem to desire for the rally, a university athletic department complex seems like the best fit. But, finding one that would willingly host the event would be a challenge.
Bucks county is a large county and if you really want to experience the joys of riding upper Bucks sometime please feel free to contact me as I think you would be pleased at the rural roads that we have and some of the hamlets that are along the Delaware River . Lower Bucks County is another story all together and would remind one of the Minneapolis rally site in a heart beat. I truly don't know what some of you are talking about when your saying the lack of traffic at last years rally location. Those fairgrounds are surrounded by urban sprawl. Every morning and evening commuter traffic jams were a common place on the other side of the fence adjacent to the RV camping area. I saw it, I experienced every single day ( I arrived on Tuesday) except the Sunday I left. The year before we stayed in the Minneapolis area for a day and half on our way home from the national in Oregon and toured some of the area. It reminded us of many of the large metro areas of the east and were puzzled as to why the MOA choose that location. So as I mentioned earlier I'm hopping Billings is the start of great and rally locations for the MOA and I hope they choose a site worthy of a record breaking attendance for the eastern 2016 national rally.
