They can't be expecting that many people. If it's held in the convention center, that was always used for tiny computer shows back in the day.

The hotel is even smaller.

JumpJets

Been there many times for Sports and trade shows. It has a 20,000 people capacity Trade Center that is 45,000 sqft. A 8,000 people Capacity Indoor Tent For Concerts etc. which is 20,000 sqft. And the Royal Plaza Hotel is Massive and the downstairs area for any convention holds and additional 10,000 people. hmmm 38,000 people could possibly attend a show/onvention here not sure what part of that is tiny. Now I will be attending GameUnicon but I dont expect them to have many thousands as it is a 1st year con. Why Playa Hate. Go and enjoy the first of its kind in gaming conventions!!!!!!!!!!

I'm definitely checking this out. The gaming community in MA needs the support. More events/tournaments like this would be great.
