It would be a very long trip most likely for you guys, but it will totally be worth it. I'm glad that I used to live near the venue in Madison and am only just over 2 hours away from there now.

I heard from many different people at States yesterday that this is being moved to a venue in Chicago. Is that true?

I have not heard anything about this moving. The information in post #1 is still accurate.
Silly rumors!

i might be going to this regional, still don't know if i'm going to PA or WI yet, but hopefully i'll be there 
This helped some folks for US Nats in the past. In case anyone is still looking for hotel rooms. I just HotWire.com the Central Madison Area Hotel - 3.5 Stars and for a rate of $56 per night after booking, it was the "host" hotel of the Hilton Madison Monona Terrace.
Keep in mind, you don't get to see the hotel name until you book and all sales are final as they say. But the list of hotels looked pretty good. All major name brands. Also, I noticed the rate was bouncing between $55 and $62 for some reason each time I went back and repeated the search.
So anyway, if anyone is looking for a potential good deal, here's one possibility. Hope this helps some of you all. Guess we're definitely coming now... lol

It shouldn't be too hard to find a hotel in Madison. If you need to stay close, there are a few hotels downtown near the convention center. If you'd like to save a little and are willing to commute, there are a number of hotels on the periphiary.
