E3 Expo Space Sells Out

Posted by Zonk on from the gonna-be-a-big-one dept.

Voodoo Extreme has the word that the E3 show space has already sold out in anticipation of what is likely to be a momentous expo, "...with a show floor the size of 2,700 city blocks, an unparalleled business conference program, and more than 400 exhibitors from 87 countries."

    .. like wow. especially since a city block is 1/10th of a mile on each side. that's 100 city blocks to a square mile, so 2.7 square miles?

    2.7 square miles? 2.7 square miles. i literally don't believe that.

    2,700 CITY BLOCKS?!

    That's wack. Most cities don't have 2,700 city blocks. and Besides that, if they have 400 exibitors, that would mean each exibit takes up an average of 6.75 city blocks! That's some frickin' HUGE exibits!

    I've been to E3 and it's big, but it ain't THAT big. :)

    540,000 sq ft translates into 2700 city blocks?

    That would mean each 'block' is 200 sq ft. Are these lilliputian cities?
