The marketing director of SDCC was on the local NPR affiliate this morning. He said they are making a decision on moving SDCC in a month. It will either stay in SD or move to Anaheim or Los Angeles. Las Vegas is out of the question. He also talked about how there is going to be a bunch of advertising inside the convention this year. More signs and banners with ads from companies and sponsors.
Is San Diego that ready to commit suicide? God Anaheim, what a boring place and Los Angeles? You think San Diego gets crowded?
Whatever they decide I hope they decide soon OR after this year's convention. Many of us who drive in already have hotel arrangements in SD. I mean the Con moving to LA would mean no need for hotels for us but for Anaheim it's a different story. You're going to be competing for space with the summer tourists heading for Disneyland.
well, it seems so perfect at SD... but it's outgrown the space. I also would have preferred Vegas... don't have to worry about space, hotel and cheap hookers.
Yeah, I might actually attend at some point if it moved to LV - I've never been to either LV or SDCC, so it'd be more justifiable if I could kill two birds with one stone.
I really hope they stick around (for obvious closeness reasons), but they really need to expand the convention center. As it stands right now, there's just too many people packed into that place for the con.
I think there are plans for expansion of the convention center. http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2009/jun/02/convention-center-design-includes-more-space-and-p/
There is a plan, but it wouldn't be ready until 2015. So even if it's approved, SD will have to beg SDCC to stay crowded for an extra 3 years. http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/04/05/san ... comic-con/
