Ohio City in particular is a great place to visit with all sorts of restaurants and microbreweries. And for folks who like amusement parks, Cedar Point is just an hour away.
As far as alternate locations, I have been to three of the Dallas shows in recent years and I thought they were well organized. I would have thought, contra Rich, that they could probably put on a good National show. But, what about Houston? I wouldn't want to live there, but the TriStar show seems to do fairly well.

Ohio City is very cool. Close by the famous Westside Market, which is also where Great Lakes Brewery is headquartered and has a restaurant/bar. And there is another great little eating establishment in the heart of the very residential area of Ohio City called Heck's Cafe, which also happens to be maybe 100 feet down the street from John Heisman's birthplace.
