I agree - Keith, it is time to attend a show, an expo - because it is hard to comment when you don't actually go there. A lot of people comment and never show up to a show or expo. But then again, others have, and I garner more respect for them. I am not talking about a show 5 or 10 years ago, I am talking about one now. Get with it, get out of Hawaii, and come to the O already.
As for numbers for the Colorado Pro, under 1,000 for the prejuding, close to 1,400 for the finals is what the estimates with, with comps. About the same as the Ironman and other pro shows besides the O and the Arnold. There were a lot more for the expo, but like we found out at the Ironman this year, a record crowd for the expo doesn't mean more ticket sales for the pro show. Has the webcast effected the ticket sales.
That is an arguement that has been brewing around.
