How much bigger (size wise) is the National vs the Toronto Expo?

I'd actually say Vendor wise, Toronto has more. The corporate and autograph areas took up a large amount of space at the national in my opinion.
Plus, if your looking for hockey, this was not your show.
Now this is the National in Atlantic City, I would think it would draw a different set of vendors in Chicago.

Yeah, I figured there wouldn't be much hockey
I'd like to go one year, just trying to get an idea how big it is vendor wise.

The show floor is likely around 3x larger than the Expo. But the corporate section in the middle is very large so it is hard to estimate just on the number of dealers.

I could be wrong. But I feel that the national is much larger in all area's. To make sure you can just compare dealer list's from the national and expo site.

The National is WAY bigger than the Expo. The Expo advertises 400 dealers, but in all seriousness, how many of those are dealers that you just walk past because you have no interest in cereal boxes and macaroni boxes? The National advertises "hundreds" of dealers but I can almost guarantee that many of those dealers have discount boxes that are better than a large percentage of dealers that set up at the Expo.
There isn't much hockey, but in my own experience, you'd be surprised at what you'd find if you ask dealers "do you have any hockey?". A lot of the time, I get a dealer breaking out a shoebox or monster box of hockey from under their table that they're selling at pennies on the dollar.
Chicago in 2017 and Cleveland in 2018...I'll see you there!
