Ranchi has Airport as well as Stadium due to National Games. Then Siliguri is not a bad option either with Bagdogra Airport as well as a Good Stadium and assured Spectator Support.
They must be having their own reasons for shifting to Bangalore.
No 5 star hotels for Bollywood brigade at Siliguri, that's the main reason. Barasat stadium doesn't have any VIP areas, same like in Siliguri. Basically these are the main reasons.
I think Bengaluru is a sensible business decision. Cities in the East are not acceptable to ATK's standards, as mentioned by @EastBengalPride above. In Bengaluru, they would get fans among the sizeable Bengali people (IT) there. In other cities, they wouldn't get that many people who are interested in football or are ready to pay good amounts for a match.
Bengal, however, loses one big chance to upgrade infra other than YBK. But then, ATK is always interested in improving infra in Spain, not in Bengal ...
