It Will All Come Down to $$$
Before the Fanatics/Rosemont show was cancelled here in Chicago earlier this month I kept wondering why they were waiting so long to kill it. I learned that it all came down to insurance ($$$). I was told by a dealer who was exhibiting that until the governor of Illinois prohibited large gatherings of people (which he announced on 3/11, the day before the Fanatics show was to begin) Fanatics would have not been able to get its money back (from the convention center). Once JBP declared, Fanatics cancelled.
I don't know what the National's insurance situation is but the wise thing to do in light of this pandemic is to cancel sooner rather than later, in my humble opinion. We shall see. Take care.
