So the National for the next 3 years in Rosemont got me thinking. What's the best use for the upstairs area. Now I don't know if the National committee rents out the entire upstairs or not. Last year was the first time I have ever seen it used for the National. But which of these options, or mix of, would you like to see.

Have more dealers but have all downstairs.
Corporate booths downstairs is fine if they are auction houses, graders, sport products. Take breakers, Vee Friends and crap like that upstairs. That would free up space for additional dealer booths downstairs. |

Upstairs should be for breakers, influencers, and the auction houses. Mostly stuff no once cares about.

There should be no "upstairs".

How many people know what the upstairs was used for at the last Chicago National?

The only thing upstairs (to my knowledge, and I walked the skywalk multiple times a day) last year (2023) was a couple of hospitality suites for some companies. There was nothing but bathrooms and some open space that were open to the public.

They did not use the full space but this took up about 1/4 to 1/3 of the upstairs area. They also used it as a staging are for people entering the show when the lobby got to full. |
