The National in 2026 is going to be in…
 

Atlantic City, what the f***, there is no way I’m going back to that dump. I can’t wait for Fanatics Events to put the NSCC out of business.

Seriously it is 3 years from now. Nobody knows what the hobby will look like then. We have to have more important stuff to worry about in the next 3 years. Hell we have stuff in the next week.

Most peli-boys will be out of the hobby by then. I'm cool with it.

Dang. I was sure it was going to be on the West Oast

Lord, help us all.....:doh:

Stay at Harrahs/Ocean. Uber to convention center.

Never go outside.

Cleveland and Atlantic City is lame, Chicago is fun, but damn I'm not taking off work to go to #@#@#@#@ing Cleveland. Come to Atlanta or Nashville or Miami or literally anywhere new

Rosemont is still a long drive or train ride from Chicago so it might as well be Cleveland for most people.

The problem is with AC. Why pay resort fees and fly Spirit just to visit a run down version of Vegas? AC should be the 1 in 3 skip for collectors. The dealers have no choice if they want to keep their booths.

Ever been to Cleveland? I thought the same as you until I visited. I'm moved up here from Florida about 2.5 years ago. What makes Atlanta or Nashville "better" than Cleveland? Now, there's nothing wrong with Nashville or Atlanta - they're both great cities and would probably be fine host cities. But wrecking Cleveland? It has great summer weather, museums, parks, restaurants, Cedar Point less than an hour away.

Cleveland has been the best venue for the National in my opinion.

Looks like the AC tourist board killed the link.

Cleveland is not "lame." Atlantic City is, there's no debating that - might as well have it in Gary, IN, but Cleveland is a great city to host it in.

Atlanta also has the busiest airport in the world and the 4th largest convention center in the United States. Hartsfield Jackson flies 20 million more people than Dallas in 2nd place.

Atlanta is 94 degrees today with 50% humidity

Sounds fun!

The boardwalk and beach are great, you're insane.

I think we have way different definitions of great.

But I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say that anything in AC is great.

AC does not look like a done deal:
