Yeh, Disney is not moving. There is only one way Disney would be gone if they went bankrupt

Appreciate the response. For future Nationals, how does the board select? Does the board use a marketing company to do the legwork of logistics and finding a convention site? If not, would they consider it? Last edited by parkplace33; 05-09-2022 at 09:59 AM. |

Nationals
I went to a few Nationals, in the 1980-90s. The one in Anaheim was massive! What a turnout! I remember one in Arlington, TX where the turnout was huge and the room was overwhelmed. If the National doesn't come to TX, CA or FL soon, I would expect a "competitor national" will emerge. If the demand exists, then the market will provide an alternative. The market is hot and it can now support more than one big show per year.

My wife dragged me in a cab 45 minutes outside Cleveland to Vermillion to go to a fancy restaurant on the water. Little town was super cool and we ended up having a great dinner and walk around near the lake. Don't remember much of what I purchased that National, but I do remember all of the Vermillion experience.

CA NATL ? Excerpt from 3/8/22 re CA CRIME STATS
WILL NEVER HAPPEN until the state figures this out. If two of the largest tourist areas in the state (SF and SM) are this unsafe, why would any major convention come here?
According to FBI crime statistics assembled and analyzed by Safewise, a website for safety consultation, Santa Monica is one of the least safe cities in California. This report was released on March 8, along with reports for many other states, which uses the data of the numbers of violent and property crimes that were reported by cities and towns to the FBI and computes the rates of crimes per 1000 residents in each municipal area. Santa Monica’s rate is six violent crimes and 42.6 property crimes per 1,000 residents. This places the city at number 224 in the list of 230 municipalities. This places Santa Monica just below San Francisco. The only other cities that have a higher average rate are Compton at 225, Richmond at 226, Stockton at 227, and Oakland at 230, which are all in Northern California. In Southern California, Compton is at 225 and San Bernardino is at 229. |

The NHRA might have a problem with that name.

DeSantis introduced and successfully passed legislation dissolving Disney's Reedy Creek Improvement District effective in 2023, which allowed WDW to pay for and operate its municipal services privately, thereby saving the state of Florida and its taxpayers BILLIONS of dollars. Taxpayers have filed suit claiming that DeSantis has infringed on their rights by passing the bill which would force the local governments of Osceola and Orange counties to take on at least $1-2 BILLION of Disney's bond debt and increase funding of emergency and municipal services. The population of these two counties is 1.7 million people. Walt Disney is Florida's largest employer and companies who previously saw the state as "business friendly" may change their minds now that DeSantis has directed at Disney such 'wrath.' You can laugh all you want and say Disney will never leave Florida but Disney is not closing the door on the possibility, according to many reports from insiders as reported by Newsweek and the Washington Post. |

We won't have a west coast show because none of the dealers based in the east and who have the most influence on the show's organizers want to hump their stuff over the Rockies and through Death Valley in July in the family minivan.

It's a self-sustaining feedback loop.
Did I read something about not missing shows being a way of keeping one's place year after year? If I'm not mis-remembering that detail, then it seems like they could loosen those requirements. I mean, they're fond of bragging that the next year has already sold out during the present year's show.

Well, with Cleveland, it would be a new building since they closed the one that the national was held and removed the Ferris wheel.

FYI - The ferris wheel was there for roughly 30+ or so years as part of the annual IX Indoor Amusement Park that went on inside the building. It stopped with the Covid pandemic starting in 2020. There is talk of bringing the amusement park back, starting in 2023, but for now the ferris wheel is to be removed as part of renovations being made to the building. |

They should replace it with a batting arcade.

Not a bad idea.......and actually quite feasible. The room at the IX Center is immense, and way bigger than any other venue I'm aware of that has ever hosted the National. Anyone who ever attended the National while in Cleveland may remember that the wall opposite to the wall along which all the restaurant/food stands are situated isn't a wall at all, it is a curtain. That is because it simply divides the floor of the IX Center so attendees don't see all the unused space. There should be more than enough room to bring in the equipment needed to set up batting cages if they so desired, and they could likely put in a softball hitting cage/area beside it as well.
In fact, if they wanted to, there is no telling how much bigger and how many more dealers they could easily accommodate at a Cleveland based National if they really wanted to expand it, and that's not even counting the lower floor levels. I think the problem is though, once you do that you can't automatically have all the dealers come back to the following year's National if held anywhere else......there isn't enough room. LOL |
