One thing you need to keep in mind is exhibit space vs total space. AC has ~490k sqft of exhibitor space across 5 connected halls. The Cleveland convention center has ~225k sqft across 3 connected halls. Cleveland than has an additional 140k+ sqft of meeting and pre-function (hallways/lobbies) space and additional auditoriums and ballrooms in the hotel on the full campus. It is only when you combine all these extra spaces is it actually larger than AC or close to Chicago. While this type of space is great for some types of shows and events, all the extra space outside the exhibition halls would not be conducive for a card show in my opinion.

Here are links to the actual floor plans for AC and Cleveland. When you start to look at the actual floor layouts and how the space is broken down you can see why some spaces, even though the total space may be larger, just won't work due to how the space is designed.
