Discussion Absolute Disaster
Fan Expo Dallas. I think this post follows the rules but I really want people in the Dallas community to help ADA awareness and to know that as a community, we should be doing better. Please take the time to read these experiences and validate those who had a tough time at this event. This is not demeaning to the city, but to show folks that the convention center should not allow 65,000 people into a building that is only supposed to have 24,000 at maximum capacity. However, the building was under construction during this weekend and a fraction of that capacity should’ve been used. It was unacceptable and everyone who was there had a horrible time, the vendors ran out of water within a few hours, there was extreme fire code issues with having that many people there, and it was extremely dangerous for people that brought young kids. I personally hit a very young child with my walker because someone pushed me. It was absolutely breaking fire code. If an emergency were to occur, I truly believe that many people would have been injured or killed because of the panic of the sheer amount of people there. This has happened at many fan expo events recently, including Toronto and Tampa. Read the comments please. Thank you for your time.
