I think you missed scheduling checkers and warcraft...I mean you have every other hobbie out there...Looks like Most of the people going dont even care about BB...

Jae - There was a MONSTER chess tournament there at the same venue last year. Hundreds of little chess ~~geeks~~ aficionados running around in their school's pastel-colored chess club t-shirts was a sight to see...they owned the convention center last year, so I know Shawn was eager not to have to go up against them this year. That's why the show weekend was changed.

That said, I'm sure everyone had a great time - this was a really classy event in '06 and I'm sure this year's edition raised the bar.

There are some bodybuilding websites that get more visitors within less than 5 minutes. And they run 365 days.

I have to say from what I saw the place looked practically empty.

efirkey · « **Reply #59 on:** June 03, 2007, 07:01:27 AM »

Looking at the schedule the expo looks awesome, my only complaint is that too many of the activites are going on at the same time and I wouldn't be able to see many of them.

MAXX · « **Reply #60 on:** June 03, 2007, 07:10:24 AM »

from what i saw on the finals video only like 5 rows of seats where filled

Nuge · « **Reply #61 on:** June 03, 2007, 07:31:12 AM »

The place looked empty.

But Shawn, it was a great show--great lineup, good judging (maybe Rockel should have been higher, though).

Exactly! There was no one there... looked to be less than 100. PDI NOC had about 10x that.

Jerryme7 · « **Reply #63 on:** June 03, 2007, 09:16:26 AM »

There was a lot of people at the finals event...there wasnt just 5 rows filled...the show is a success

slayer · « **Reply #64 on:** June 03, 2007, 09:59:32 AM »

Id say at least 3 full rows and some scatter!

Please tell me that pic isn't from the show. If it was it had to be when they first opened the doors. That can't be real

Here are screen caps from right after the pros did their posing routines at the night show.

You see a man interviewing Toney Freeman, standing in the 2nd row, in the first pic.
You see the 3 to 4 rows behind him with people, then empty the rest of the way, in the second pic.

These are from 1:06 of the Bbing.com download if you want to verify. About 5 to 6 rows of people at the night finals, right after the last guy did his posing routine.

It was still one of the best lineups of the year, and assuming everyone got paid, a succeess for the fans (who got a webcast) and the athletes (who got paid). So while attendance might not have been there, it was still a good show, and props to shawn for putting it on. I have to wonder tho - if Phil heath had done the show, would there have been a TON more people? My guess is yes. Good show tho.

Exactly! Like everyone has been saying.... 5 rows, less than 100 ppl total. Pathetic!

onlyme · « **Reply #70 on:** June 03, 2007, 10:30:53 AM »

WOW! Imagine, everyone saying that this lineup was the best and yet only that many people came to the show. What would a less then best lineup would have done. How about the NPC show was that any better. Well if Sean does this show again he should seriously consider doing it at the local high school gym. At least it might look better and it will be ALLOT cheaper. But, I think he said he signed a 3 year deal or 2 year. I wonder if he is stuck. Oh well.

The final posedown seemed to lack a little excitement... seemed like kai knew he had the win and was avoiding going tooe to toe against Rockel or Darrem, as to not blow it at the last minute. So no head-to-heads.

Very good lineup tho. Darrem did look like he could have won it IMO - he looked decent and big, and has a big name. Rockel was probably my favorite to win tho - shoulders were sick and he just looked more complete than anyone up there.

If you lived in Denver and were a sports fan, it's possible you were either locally at the Rockies/Reds game to see Griffey go 0-for-4 with 3K, or you were at home watching LeBron and crew finish off Detroit for a trip to the finals.

I wouldn't want to promote a BBing show in a nontraditional BBing city without some awesome entity to sell - a Phil heath or something like that. Hard gig. Props to Shawn and BBing.com for giving us the free show.

I heard there was more people at Milos's seminar.
