I have lived in Northern Virginia my entire life. I have gone to the Dulles Expo Center many, many times over the years either to the sports memorabilia show, the Big Flea, or others. I was surprised by this news. You know the Expo Center used to be in the two buildings, the other being the one that houses the Walmart. I am not sure this is a done deal, but money talks, and the County may or may not push back. I can't think of an alternate location that is close by unless show sponsors rent a large building on a nearby college campus or other location. There is one, or used to be, an expo center in Fredericksburg, VA but that is somewhere around 50 miles away southbound in the direction of Richmond, VA off Interstate 95. I am hoping that in the end the Dulles Expo Center will continue to exist. I know IKEA has been looking to move into this location, and another spot has been talked about. We will have to see how this turns out, but I hope the location remains the same as it is with maybe some improvements.
