I've been to every Anime Expo since the first one. (Still have all my badges, too!) After the last one, though, I was about ready to call it quits. Waiting 45 minutes in line to get into the exhibit hall was a major pain in the rear. The hall simply wasn't big enough, so everyone who wanted in couldn't get in, due to fire code restrictions. This for a convention with, what was it, over 20,000 attendees? Surely they must have known.

However, if I'm reading this map right, AX03's exhibit hall should be cavernous. More than 400-feet long and at least 250-feet wide (significantly larger than a football field). 20-foot wide aisles between the booths.

Anyone want to double-check my measurements? And if I'm right, do you think we'll all fit this year? Smile
