    @Gaff: Not true, If you look really hard you can actually see the stench forming into some sort of mist in the top right of the picture

    Find a nice large convention center somewhere that has several large hotels directly surrounding it. Take all of the hotel's hall space. If it's evident that an event won't have enough space (cosplay seems to NEVER have enough), have overflow rooms with A/V feeds going into them.

    Boom, you've managed to expand the area your convention covers, AND cut down on crowding issues.

    @Rakuen42: You can watch Blizzcon on pay per view; so they technically already offer A/V feeds to those not in the area and those in the area could just use pay per view instead of buying tickets. It seems clear that nothing makes up for the experience of being there.

    You could put the cosplay in a football stadium and it would still be standing room only.

    @Project_J187: Granted, however, it doesn't mean they shouldn't take advantage of the technology and space available.

    And actually, you wouldn't be able to fill a football stadium. We still haven't managed to come close to filling the smaller stadium at Otakon. Attendance numbers between the two conventions are comparable.

    wait never mind, half of the people attending would melt from sun exposure...

    Why don't fans just take up less space?

    Blaming Blizzard for all of their problems, jeez.

    Blizzard built a night club, threw in a few nerds and called it a party.
