I really hope they do not move it to downtown Milwaukee. I've been part of large events down there and it's a mess on so many levels. If it is at Miller Park, where they hell is everyone going to stay? There is nothing around that area for hotels.

Quoted from Whysnow:Offsite hotel is not a complete deal breaker but it needs to be VERY close if offsite. People need to be able to easily and quickly grab a nap/beer/food/ etc... between games.
I'm thinking walking distance. Anything further than that and it becomes a negative.
I kind of read that the Sheraton changed the terms which the show couldn't meet from your cryptic comments.
Honestly, I'm trusting this will all work out. You guys have shown you know how to put on a hell of show year after year.
Quoted from trilogybeer:State fair grounds for mgc ? I bet that would not be cheap . Train fest is there . Trains are more popular than pinball though.
State Fair would be a good location. Used to live on 82nd and GF so it's my old haunt.
Quoted from goatdan:I should have taken a picture of my other, other Sharpshooter at storage easier tonight. Sorry.
On topic: Where is that Micro place?
It's in SFP, I had a few micro brews there a few years ago. That picture makes it look much bigger than it is.
I will miss the Sheraton, there was a familiarity that grew for me after the years. However, I realize that all things must come to an end.
Looking forward to the announcement.
The volunteers for the pinball area really deserve another round of applause. Tully, Keith, Tom, Chris, Eric, and a host of others who I'm forgetting right now, who bust their behinds moving, coordinating, and helping people set up. Mike Williams also put long hours on the dock from what I understand. Most of these guys also have long drives to get back to their homes.
Thanks again.
Quoted from Jediturtle:Sorry for the load-out stress everyone. It wasn't our fault.
Everyone knows that or should know that! Without you guys, this show would not be possible.
Load out was probably only a cluster for those of us that had to wait until 5. I'm not saying what is correct or not correct, or who followed/didn't follow the rules...but the weather clearly was a factor for everyone and there has to be a better plan for next year. Having said that, the level of folks lending each other a hand can't go unrecognized.
Still a great show for a brand new location. Feedback from the general admission folks seemed to be very positive.
