The problem for dealers is you cannot drive into the venue to unload on Tuesday as you can at all of the previously used venues. Unloading outside in Atlanta in early August is not an inviting encounter. Maybe they will make an exception for the National in 2028 if it is held there but who knows.
I live 2.5 hours from there and 10.5 from Detroit so my choice is easy. However, if it was Atlanta versus Chicago I would opt to drive the 10 extra hours to Chicago. It is the best venue for the National for dealers hands down.

Clarification, I have no first hand knowledge that drive ins are not allowed in Atlanta. It was based on info from regional shows held there in the past. Will be clarified at the presentation in Chicago but very well may be allowed so my assumption otherwise was just that!
