I'd love to see a proper expansion but they are quite limited on space as it is. Likely, they would have to get rid of the underground parking and turn that into a floor of the convention space or something, but even then, it needs to be able to capable of passing relates building codes (else the entire building would face massive renovation). They should just bring it to Las Vegas. The new convention center there is going to be off the hook when they get done expanding it. It is already off the hook as it is. They could easily double the attendance or more in Vegas and have all the expansion they could ever ask for. The only catch is that it is Vegas when you walk outside, and not the energy of San Diego, the ocean, etc.
All due respect to Las Vegas or any other part of the country, but being in San Diego is part of what gives Comic-Con its identity. The intimate, seaside downtown atmosphere...strips along the bay at night, mingling with friends in the Gaslamp.That cannot be replicated anywhere else.I hope they remain here forever.

More than $1.8 billion is to be set aside for addressing homelessness, and $551 million is targeted for road repairs.
