Fresh off their highest profile convention ever, Comic-Con’s future in San Diego may be in doubt. There’s no secret that the convention is too large for the current facilities. Four-day tickets for the event sold out four months in advance. The con expanded into nearby hotels for some programming, but clearly it is straining at the seams. Because of this, other convention-friendly cities, like Los Angeles and Las Vegas have been sniffing around seeking to lure the yearly comic book extravaganza away.
Until now these have been mere rumblings, now there are reports that the con has demanded that the convention center expand by 2011 or the SDCC will relocate. The con has a contract to stick around through 2012, but without some more elbow room, that may be the final year in San Diego.
