I thought the space itself was good. Convention center built on the side of a hill with almost no parking makes it really hard for out of towners to bring pins, not to mention restrictive load in times. (Pre 9am on fri)
Food was inedible at food court, 9 dollar beers are out of question.
More stuff for sale is great for all hobbyists, ample secure parking for trailers full of equipment should be a no brainer.
Pacific Northwest has so much great food and beer it's really a shame there is no way of showcasing local beers and maybe a pod of food trucks in a parking lot.
Congrats to the Seattle crew for throwing a great show, they put a ton of work into it and always have an amazing tech area, complete with tech seminars.

Amen.
It's great to be able to put a sign on a game for sale, but the games are still hauled to the show for people to play all weekend.
The option would be NOT bringing them inside and only doing parking lot deals, but what's the fun in that?
