There are others. Dallas, for example has:
- 2,000,000 Total Square Feet
- 4,000 hotel rooms within walking distance, including 1,100 at the adjacent Omni Dallas Hotel
- 4 new restaurants
- Onsite DART rail station with covered access to the convention center
- Free shuttle bus (DART D-Link, Route 722) to Downtown, Arts District, Uptown, The Cedars, Bishop Arts District, Victory Park, and the West End
So, even though the adjacent room numbers are less, the direct access with rail and shuttles makes it more convenient for everyone else not directly adjacent to the con.There ARE options. If people simply cared enough to look.
That's all well and good until you realize that fewer adjacent hotel rooms means that the transportation system gets overloaded with a larger convention, thus cancelling the theoretical convenience. You also then have to consider how much less space that gives Gencon, as it's already spilled into adjacent hotel conference centers, and an NFL stadium.
But hotel space is not a problem for Indy. There are available hotels within 10 miles right now, and there have been throughout the entire registration process. The main issue for most people is downtown hotel space, and Indy surpasses Dallas in that regard. I also think that you "not believing" in Uber/Lyft is a personal issue that almost no one else has a problem with. Uber/Lyft have pretty much completely solved the Indy transportation issue.
EVERY TOP CONVENTION CITY HAS EASY AND RELIABLE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION TO THEIR CONVENTION CENTER.
Indy does not. Nor does anyone seem interested in building it. That is a problem.
You seem to have proven yourself wrong
