[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 7678947, member: 2525"] For what it is worth, the Seattle convention center ranks 29th I think...two worse than Indianapolis. And yes it's expanding...as is Indianapolis...as is Vegas. The rankings are not based on just size obviously as I think you're correct the Seattle one is currently bigger than the Indianapolis one (or not - the Wikipedia entries show the Seattle one is rather small, not much more than 300,000 square feet). I don't have the full list, but here are the top ten largest convention centers: 1. McCormick Place (Chicago, IL) 2,600,000 sf 2. Orange County Convention Center (Orlando, FL) 2,100,000 sf 3. Las Vegas Convention Center (Las Vegas, NV) 1,940,631 sf 4. Georgia World Congress Center (Atlanta, GA) 1,400,000 sf 5. Sands Expo & Convention Center/The Venetian | The Palazzo Resort Hotel Casino (Las Vegas, NV) 1,305,052 sf 6.* Kentucky Exposition Center (Louisville, KY) 1,100,000 sf 7.* New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center (New Orleans, LA) 1,100,000 sf 8. Reliant Park (Houston, TX) 1,056,213 sf 9. International Exposition Center (I-X Center) (Cleveland, OH) 1,050,000 sf 10. Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, formerly Dallas Convention Center (Dallas, TX) 1,018,942 sf *Tied in amount of space Now the Indianapolis Convention Center website claims, "1,300,000 square feet," which would make it 7th, but for whatever reason the trade publication covering convention centers doesn't rank it that way.
