Planning on traveling to shows in 2020?

The Philly Show is less than an hour drive for me. So I’ll definitely be there.

The three shows at the Chantilly/Dulles Expo Center, an hour away in Northern Va.

I'll probably hit one of the Chantilly shows (3 hours) and am planning on at trip to AC (6.5 hours) this summer for the National.

Really, the entire southeast part of the US is generally skipped over as far as shows. Nothing from Chantilly to Florida (except for an occasional show in Raleigh) and heading west, you'd have to go to Cleveland or Cincinnati for a decent show.

Wilmington show ??? Is that any good. Is it in NC ? Not Delaware.

I travel to shows in Dubuque and LaCrosse, which are 90 minutes one way. Madison and Davenport 2 hours. Eau Claire and Milwaukee 3 hours. I doubt that I will attend shows in Chicago or Minneapolis, which are around 4 hours away. I have tentative plans to go to the New Orleans show again, which is about 16 hours. New Orleans is a surprisingly small show but the gumbo makes up for it.

I remember when we had a show in my hometown, and a dozen or so shows within 40 minutes of my home, but those days are long gone.

I would guess Mass from the travel times.

I hit the two TriStar Houston shows each year. Last year I made the trip to Dallas to the show Leon co-sponsored which was the first time I'd actually traveled to an out-of-town show since the Nationals in Arlington in the 80s.

Lately, I've given some thought to making the Atlantic City National. I grew up and still have family in the NY/NJ metro area. I may try for a 'kitchen pass'.

I will attend all the Chicago Sports Spectacular shows in Rosemont...I live near Madison WI, so only about 2 1/2 hour drive

We have it pretty good in Western MI. There are several shows with in 45 minutes of where I live. For the most part there is a decent mix of cards from the 50's to present, which works out well for my son and me. Every once in a while there will be pre 1950 cards. Muskegon, Holland, and a few different venues in the Grand Rapids area. There even more options with in 3 hours over in the Detroit area.
That being said my son and I get to several shows a year.
