I'm not absolutely certain, but I would figure hotel would get a bit cheaper if
people were willing to travel out into the suburbs a bit after getting into
town.

You're right. We've got at least a year to go before we could put on a Chicago
convention. But, I'd rather see one in MSP because of the Mall of America, and
GMLTC. Even though I'd have to travel to get to it, I think that's the best
midwest LEGO location.
I wanna see a convention in either MSP or Chicago within a year or two.
