[member=6880]cabler30[/member] Worth a note though if I'm not mistaken, SDCC has said in the past that they believe the size (size of attendees etc.) is about the maximum they can and want to handle at the current size without affecting the experience poorly. So I imagine SDCC mainly wants the upgrades/updates to the convention etc. itself. I think the main sticking point for them is the hotels issue for now.
So guessing wont be no expansion of the center itself like no remving walls any just the insides are being updated or what not. then hotels just gotta make space to have enough rooms open to be rented or used for the con at time. this all just what i see and understand most.
It might be an expansion still, but I'm not sure they'd be interested in more attendees than 120,000/day, as it is now.We'll see how hotel negotiations/renegotiations go too and any new hotels (ie. Pendry, Hotel Z, etc.)
The developer of a $300 million hotel complex planned for the same bayfront site as a proposed convention center expansion has filed suit against the city of San Diego, claiming that it is interfering with its contractual right to move forward with its project. The lawsuit, which also names the San Diego Convention Center Corp., is asking for a court order that would effectively bar the city and the corporation from continuing to pursue an expansion of the center on land they do not control.
Am I being a complete dunce again or isn't the solution here bleedingly obvious?TEAM 5TH AVE: "WE WANT A HOTEL!"TEAM CONV CTR: "WE WANT AN EXPANSION"CON ATTENDEES: "UH WE KINDA NEED BOTH RIGHT?"There's likely multimillion dollar architectural firms drawing up plans for both sides, maybe even with nice models to demonstrate their visions. I wish they held dueling press conferences unveiling their master plans at the same time, and I'd just roll up into the hotel team's presentation, steal their hotel model, walk over to the convention center expansion team's presentation, stick the hotel model on top of the convention center expansion model, put on some duct tape to hold them together, voila, here's your new master plan. Kidding aside, isn't a compromise in every party's interest? Why chart a path towards years of more delays, years of more litigation, when everyone could make more profits sooner just by working together?
