    FUN: WHY THE REMOTE NORTH CONCOURSE LOCATION?

    Last week Alan Weinberg theorized that one reason for the spate of
    robberies of dealers leaving the FUN show is the show's location at
    the North Concourse. Another subscriber writes: "Although the FUN
    show is probably now the largest event of its kind in the world, the
    Orange County Convention Center treats FUN in a very condescending
    manner. The OCCC has two buildings with 1.1 million square feet each.
    The newer building where the FUN show is held has four main exhibition
    halls, each having 275,000 square feet. FUN only uses about 180,000-
    200,000 square feet. Because FUN can't even fill one of these halls,
    the OCCC people have adopted a 'take it or leave it' attitude with FUN.

    "The Northeast hall is the hardest to rent because it is the furthest
    from the hotels and other amenities. The OCCC is mainly interested in
    attracting huge conventions that require 500,000 to 2.2 million square
    feet. I believe the OCCC is one of only three places in the country
    that can host shows requiring 2 million square feet. The others are
    McCormack Place in Chicago and Las Vegas."
