They could've had a much bigger space in St. Louis. They only used the smallest of the five halls in the America's Center. I remember the first thing I thought when I walked into that room: this isn't enough. It would've been enough if they had used either Hall 3 (about 1.5 times the space) or both Halls 1 and 2 (about 2x the space). BTW, Nationals this year took up about 50,000 square feet of space. I think that Nationals would need 100,000 square feet this year, as the 50k wasn't enough space to pacify the fire department, and I'm pretty certain that Nationals will grow by another 30% this year (1500 players, that's a BOAT). Not to mention the Casual Play area wasn't anywhere NEAR big enough for the amount of players that would populate the area between rounds.
