Yeah, D*C sounds like a real con.  SDCC has 100,000 people (a day!)
but probably has little more room that is being used for D*C.  They
don't really have anyplace to expand to, although this year they did
have some things going on in the nearby hotels.  Also, a lot of the
exhibitors are having events outside and across the street.  

But, if you are in Hall H (?) with 20,000 other fans, most of what you
are seeing is on repeater screens anyway.  Even in Ballroom 20 there
are some 3000 seats.  That was the hall where they only allowed 10
disabled fans in for the Glee panel...

I still think they should break up the con into a media con, and a
comics con.
