They are staying everywhere. Last Saturday night we were downtown and most major intersections on Poydras had police helping them cross.


It's pretty crazy.

Is this the largest convention numbers wise that the city has seen? Obviously this city is a hub for conventions, but 25k kids plus probably another thousand or so adults. That's a HUGE group.

No doubt it's a huge group. Events like Essence and Bowl games and the like bring a lot more people, but as far as a pure convention, it's one of the biggest of the year, no doubt.

We are usually good for a couple 30K plus conventions each year, maybe one in the spring and one in the fall.

This website is pretty cool for seeing who is in town.
