Sure would be nice if SE would consider an east coast location for Fanfest for once.

NYC, Washington DC, Charlotte, and Atlanta are all prime locations for an event of that scale, and have the advantage of relatively inexpensive flights for about 80% of the population of the US and Canada (LV is probably cheaper for Mexico, though.)

Heck, Toronto is a better location if it's going to be in July again. Much better odds of being in the 80-90s instead of the 110s.

All those cities also have convention centers capable of hosting huge crowds, and event staffing agencies they could contract with who are used to handling giant anime and comic conventions.
