I went to the show for a few hours on Sunday.......planned to go last year as well, but with the weather we had that weekend, there was no way I was driving home in that.
So this was my first experience with MGC in the Wisconsin Center.
The venue is a VAST improvement over the Sheraton. Everything is nicely spaced out but yet compact enough that its all located together. Tons of room and you could easily navigate around to all the games. NO separate rooms all over the place. No cramped hallways. No tent......think of the disaster last year would have been with that? Also high ceilings with excellent ventilation........that makes a big difference for the heat in the game rooms and sometimes the "ripe smell" of some folks who may have wanted to consider taking a shower that morning...........
There were alot of console games there and that's just not my thing anymore, but that's ok! Something for everyone and I just chose to spend my time where I wanted. Like the organizers have said. This is show is for everyone. So I just chose to look at what I wanted. Anyone complaining about "not wanting to go to downtown Milwaukee"......please.......this isn't downtown Milwaukee from 10 years ago. It is VASTLY improved over the past decade with all of the improvements done and getting to the show was simple. Literally less than a mile off the highway.
An amazing amount of new pins......that was great. Highlight for me was finally scoring an extremely nice dedicated Pac Man at a fair price.......usually find them and they are beat to hell.......not this time.
I will gladly be back next year.
