If the goal is to get foot traffic ( hence consumers ) thru the door, the show has to be in the eastern part of the country.
This is where the population base is. A venue in Cleveland, drawing an 800 mile radius, has access to tens of millions of people. AC is the same, as is Chicago although a lesser extent.
This is a distance that can be driven in a day.
Vegas, unless you live in LA, you are flying, not to mention a much more limited population to draw from with the same 800 mile radius.
I live in South County and would love a national, however if I were involved in the decision making process there is no way I go west with the show.
