IMO, the Nat'l should rotate venues across the country- west coast, east coast, mid-west, etc. Would keep it fresh, exciting, etc. Just my 2 cents.
Jewish-collector- Good list BTW...Would be cool to see some of them get a shot... McCormick Place Las Vegas Convention Center Orange County Convention Center Georgia World Congress Center New Orleans Convention Center World Equestrian Center International Exposition Center (I-X Center) Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Pennsylvania Convention Center Sands Expo and Convention Center Mandalay Bay Convention Center George R. Brown Convention Center Jacob K. Javits Convention Center Donald E. Stephens Convention Center Huntington Place Moscone Convention Center San Diego Convention Center Last edited by MVSNYC; 09-18-2023 at 08:47 PM. |

Thanks to Mr. Wiki, here is a list of US convention centers that have at least 500,000 square feet of exhibition space.
The first number for each convention center below is the total exhibition space in square footage, while the second number is its overall square footage. Note that Atlantic City is at the bottom of the list with exactly 500,000 square feet of exhibition space...that's where I drew a line in the convention sand. I do not have the contiguous square footage for each place, but if Atlantic City is currently in the mix, then the National organizers are obviously willing to accept under 600,000 sq. ft. of contiguous space. McCormick Place Chicago 2,670,000 sq ft /9,000,000 sq ft Las Vegas Convention Center Las Vegas 2,500,000 sq ft /4,600,000 sq ft Orange County Convention Center Orlando 2,100,000 sq ft/ 7,000,000 sq ft Georgia World Congress Center Atlanta 1,500,000 sq ft/ 3,900,000 sq ft New Orleans Morial Convention Center New Orleans 1,100,000 sq ft/ 3,100,000 sq ft World Equestrian Center Ocala, Florida 1,026,500 sq ft /1,036,100 sq ft International Exposition Center (I-X Center) Cleveland 1,000,000 sq ft/ 2,200,000 sq ft Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Dallas 1,000,000 sq ft/ 2,000,000 sq ft Pennsylvania Convention Center Philadelphia 1,000,000 sq ft /2,000,000 sq ft Sands Expo and Convention Center Las Vegas 936,600 sq ft/2,250,000 sq ft Mandalay Bay Convention Center Las Vegas 861,231 sq ft /2,100,000 sq ft George R.

Rosemont is a great locations for the National why not make it there every two years with Cleveland...... so two years Chicago one year Cleveland. I bet that’s they do. The gray breads hate change they love routine and commonplace that’s comforting and has a past experience with.

I think there is misinformation, 500,000 is needed.

Considering all the dealers on the waiting list to get into the NSCC, I'm surprised that some very enterprising sports show promoter (hello Joe D.?) hasn't decided to have a go at establishing an annual "Winter NSCC." IMO, January or February would be a good time of the year. How about Las Vegas, New Orleans, or San Diego for a location. One major benefit for dealers and collectors would be not having to suffer inadequate air conditioning!! I truly feel that a Winter NSCC would quickly become a huge success.
