Atlanta got votes the last time they voted.

I’d assume this would easily beat Detroit.

I've never been to the National. Hopefully one year it will be in Detroit.

Atlanta has had a few chances in the past with limited success.

However, the market is much different than it was when the National was last in Atlanta.

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.

It's NOT a great venue for buyers. It is too small for the amount of attendees.

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!

That part of Atlanta is a pure nightmare for travel in and out.

Also, in case anyone is interested in the truly great aquarium located nearby that venue...I have no idea what setup they have with the fire marshal, but blowing through the building capacity limit to shove 100s more into the building than should be there is standard practice...so go when it first opens if that makes your plans.

I think the Huntington Convention Center is where the annual Detroit Auto Show is held, if I'm not mistaken (Cobo Hall). I don't care for the location. The Suburban Showcase Convention Center in Novi where the Detroit Sports Spectacular is held is a great venue, but probably too small for a National.
