NAU The NAU North Campus venue has a distance issue. Its gift card services are also not local. It has LAN, just about every foot along the wall, but it is slower than the ASU LAN. NAU North is dead just about all the time.  
ASU
The ASU venues have major parking issues. You have to get to the Roosevelt District for parking very early or face a 20-minute walk, UNLESS the big garages are open. The Tempe venues have no gift card supported services. Sub-venue Pros Cons
