Where Should They Have The National?

[matthew]

Of the given choices, I'd say Dallas.

I like the Louisville suggestion also. St Louis or Nashville could handle the crowds also.

Nashville, but give us a few years to finish off the new convention center.

Add another here for Las Vegas !!! Everything needed is here !!! Second,third, and fourth would be a toss up between Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego.

I'd be a BIG Fan of the National coming here ---

The only places I think can handle the size of the show is Market Hall or the Dallas Convention Center

However; we're not a big card area for collectors -- we have maybe one to two passable shows a year -- and the show's infrastructure is similar to what Cleveland's would be -- and that is a downer.

I liked the Baltimore area...Northern Virginia (Dulles Conv) could hold some good opportunities...non-union, close to cheap air, MLB, access to major markets.

If I never go to another Atlantic City National, it will be too soon.

San Diego is a great idea. The convention center is downtown near the ballpark and lot of restaurants. No east coast humidity. Lots for families to do like the beach, Sea World, the Zoo, etc..

I vote for Vegas.

Agree with Adam, Steve, Alan et al.

VEGAS!

(With OJ in jail, should be safe enough).

San Diego... you guys/gals will never want to leave

In 1997; they had the All-star game Fan Fest, a venue which needs a lot of room in Downtown Cleveland. The funniest thing about that was that I (we) stayed out of town and drove in each day -- where for the National I'd want to stay within a walk or cab distance. But there is a venue downtown that can handle the National

If I have to choose from this list, I'll take the closest one to my backyard (SF). Actually, I would've voted for "anywhere but Cleveland, again" if that was offered.

It ends up not mattering, really. I'm heading to my 9th straight next summer.
