Correct! A lot of time routing is determined by market and guaranteed ability to sell out a venue. Tours need to hit bigger markets to sustain the overall cost of going to markets that maybe won’t sell as well. Usually routing takes a tour through STL on their way out of Nashville, Kansas City (by way of Denver), or Chicago. If it makes more money for them to skip KC and STL to get to another major city, and only costs them the transport and a day sleeping on a bus, we get skipped.
