2025 National

[shawnkrebs]

Im ready for a 2025 National forum.

Cabrera, Beltre & Helton.

Every Antetokounmpo.

Some cool NCAA championship coaches not currently (as of 5/19/25) under investigation.

Nice list of new auto guests.

Also, Johnny Bench and Larry Csonka are battling out for most times at NSCC. No official record, and I have no idea if this is accurate, but I'm still rooting for Johnny!

Extra booths this year for new guys!

Getting in and out of National wont be an issue!

So many exclamation points! I'm excited.

Chicago 2025!!

Just a friendly PSA:

Take a daily shower, preferably before you arrive at the National.

Yeah, as someone who rents a house away from the venue every year, It can be a pain trying to fight through the parking garage across the street from the Stephens, while Cleveland was out away from everything else. The only traffic needing spots were National guests, and the lot was big enough for every single person to park there. People complain about the line to get in the east entrance to the lot, but if you just used the west entrance there was literally zero wait all week. I love the location in Rosemont, but parking there is not nearly as nice as it was in Cleveland last year.

That said, looking forward to the additional space this year. While the Stephens can feel a little more disjointed than a nice open square room(s) like Cleveland, it doesn't really bother me. And adding a second floor with new dealers should be fun.

The only issue I have with parking in the garage across the street is trying to remember how to get back to my car after a long day of looking at cards. I feel like I am guessing my way through it as I go through the walkways. It wasn't too bad at the Sports Spectacular in March, though.

Speaking of the National, I wonder when the National subforum will open?

Rumor has it the 2028 National will either be in Detroit or Atlanta!

[brothertona]

Looks like Detroit or Atlanta are the two options given to dealers.

Are you saying that Detroit and Atlanta are the ONLY options for 2028 or they are being tabled as another possibility other than Cleveland or Chicago?

With VIP passes no longer containing free parking, there will be plenty of expensive garage space available right across the street for easy in and out access.

At least with Rosemont you have a chance at staying safe.

[Cracktoast]

Detroit you more likely to get robbed or shot and Atlanta Traffic it will take you 2 hrs to go 1 block. lol

Cleveland was super easy to get in and out of if you had any idea where you were going (and yes I realize most people aren't local)

We stayed at 150th and if you came in West, or as I can it the nature preserve side (when we used to drive that with my Grandparents when I was a kid), it was in and out

People just lost their ever loving mind on day one and it took over social media

It was super easy in real life

Can't tell if either of these are better or worse than Atlantic City.

Can always count on you to say dumb stuff. Go to any major city there are bad spots and spots that are perfectly fine.

[Twalk1975]

I can't imagine what it's like to go through life afraid of cities.

[NickyCards]

Born and raised in NYC, definitely not the safest place but that’s only in certain spots. Chicago is not known to be the safest place ever, but you’ll be safe at the show.

[metsandweezer]

Can’t believe they won’t put the National in Las Vegas.

The Chicago National is actually in Rosemont, which is a very safe suburb.

[bigdog2003]

I would love to see it in Atlanta for selfish reasons
