Comic-Con swallows three Dragon Cons [In reply to] Can't Post

DragonCon fills a few hotels in a section of Atlanta while Comic-Con fills San Diego. It features 500,000 square feet of things to buy, which is just something every pop-culture appreciator (geek) needs to see with her own eyes and walk with her own feet.

Believe it or not, the convention and the city of San Diego both know that the Con has grown bigger than the mammoth convention hall and the city of San Diego. Los Angeles and Las Vegas would both like to take the convention away from San Diego and if that happens it would be able to accomodate more people but there are clearly negatives about that as well. I think San Diego has it for another three years.

I would personally hate to see it go to L.A. and would love it in Vegas.

ComicCon might just decide that 140,000 unique visitors is good enough.

You can volunteer at the convention and get a free badge as a result. Even the volunteers are 'sold out' this year but next year is SURE to feature a lot of Hobbit stuff so sign up early.

I have included a picture of the convention center here taken from the back side or ocean side of the convention center. In the far right of the photo, across the street from the hall you can see the completely dwarfed PetCo field baseball stadium. All the hotels you see are used and sold out for the Con. By itself the convention is a fair sized city every day.

And, in case anybody thinks I said otherwise, I made no claim that SDCC was better than DCon, only bigger.



I have no choice but to believe in free will.
