Where would the Ultimus be? Oh this is a fun one…
If the Ultimus were to finally be played on Neutral grounds, the first Neutral Ultimus Championships would be held in Beijing, China. A stadium would specifically be erected for the game by China, and house roughly 200-250 thousand fans with enough accommodations within the stadium. Why China?
In reality, the International Simulation Football League is a business. An international one at that. A relationship with China would be beneficial, and profitable. Without a team of it own, China has very little representation within the ISFL. Therefore, an opportunity to open that door and build that bridge is provided in the first Neutral Game Ultimus Championships.
The deal would likely include verbiage on the ownership of naming rights, display rights, and anything else that might be considered viewable for promotional purposes. Which means that how the stadium looks probably won’t be purely decided by a single entity alone. But I’d imagine there would be a fair amount of ISFL promotional material, some educational game material (to teach the game for the locals), and some tourism promotional material to advertise for the inevitable wave of tourists.
And no Championship game would be complete without a halftime performance! Given the game’s political nature, we can probably rule out most controversial artists, and write off most raunchy performers. That uhh… That rules out a lot of the Top 40… Maybe this would be the year we see a double headliner, with someone like Ed Sheeran to represent North America, and maybe we can BTS to perform… Wait this is my fantasy right? Oh hell yeah! We’re getting Ed Sheeran and BTS for the halftime show. Don’t ask me how, or even how the show would sound… Those details are left for an article I don’t need the money from LOL
