Any new news on The National??

[Tony Gordon]

Illinois is currently limiting gatherings to 50 people. I don't know if much is going to change in four months. I am diabetic and eligible for the vaccine but can't get an appointment any where. I think it would be wise to move the show this year to someplace like Dallas that allows massive gatherings.

The Sox and Cubs are allowing 20% capacity for home games. I think (hope) by June/July the vaccine rollout will be more efficient.
I can see a national with 25% capacity.
Also, if they get rid of all those breakers, the dealers can spread out, and accomadate social distancing mandates

Is my bet....

I cant see Chicago going from groups of 50 to several thousand in less than 5 months unless somehow everyone is vaccinated by July. plus would a 25% national even be good? Would all the dealers even show up if the attendance was only 25%.

DSCC is state's call, not Chicago, and I can assure you the village has been all over Pritzker for a green light. Apparently, even McCormick Place is being considered. That's really good news for Rosemont. Things have been improving by the day here. Something like 50 million people are within a 3-hour drive of Rosemont so I would call that real pressure. Outdoor events got bumped up by months and will be able to re-assess (add fans) ahead of each baseball team's homestand.

If the state of Ill doesn't want to open for business and do what is best for its citizens then move it to a state like FL or TX. Reward the states who are doing things the right way.

I was in FL last month for 5 days. No masks except for servers!!!! The sporting event I attended had no capacity restrictions or social distancing. The only people wearing stuff on their face were doing so to try and keep the dirt from the track off of themselves.

You should try Meijer if you're close to one. They have been giving shots in Michigan.
