Where Should Minecon 2016 Be Held?

[Pow]

China. People underestimate how many players there actually are around there. Plus there will be much less children brought by their parents!

I'm guessing Tehran or Kubul.

Forreal tho, there are quite a lot of places that MineCon 2016 could be.

Personally, I'd like to see it in Columbus, OH. The Convention Center is 1,700,000 sq ft and hosts the Ohoya Anime Convention which has over 10,000 attendants yearly. Plus this is where my state Beta Convention is so I'm biased ;-;

Another great place (still biased) is Cincinnati, OH. The Duke Energy Center is capable of hosting the 10,000+ as they hosted 11,000+ for Redsfest (which I was at).

BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT.

It will most likely be held

1. Chicago
   
2. NYC
   
3. LA
4. Tokyo
5. Brazil (maybe Rio)
   
6. Houston
   
7. Melborne
8. Sydney
9. Some other Aussie City

Most likely, it's gonna be held in a very populated city with easy access and little risks.

Anyone of the countries in green are to be considered for 2016. The US, Germany, Canada, Brazil, Australia, Japan are all the top contenders in my eyes. For 2016, I don't believe somewhere like China or Russia would be considered, but in 2017/2018, I believe China has a much more likely chance as it is pushing into the green even more.

The red circled countries are ones I think are in the running for Minecon 2016. That being said, the top-10 for Minecon 2016 would be as follows:

• Chicago US
  
• Munich GERMANY
• New York City US
• Tokyo JAPAN
• Sydney AU
• Melbourne AU
• Rio de Janeiro BRAZIL
• Berlin GERMANY
• Houston US

With that, I think in 2017/2018 the purple countries:

• Sweden
• Switzerland
• China
• US (LA)
• Saudi Arabia
  
• UAE

American Airlines Arena (Miami Heat Stadium and a bunch of circuses are there too) and for MineCon some parts of it could be outside too.

If it's in Chicago I'm going to be staying there for a month lmfao.[DOUBLEPOST=1436296043,1436295858][/DOUBLEPOST]I'd have to the top 3 places for Minecon in the U.S. are

1. Houston
2. Chicago
3. Los Angeles

I think it will be Seattle for a couple of reasons.
1. It has gone US, Europe, US, Europe, so if that pattern continues it will the US
2. I think it will be on the west coast because west coast then east coast so that make sense
3. I think it will be in Seattle because it is a populated area and that is where Microsoft is.

I hope Microsoft does not make it about them so it's going to Seattle. I mean that's beyond biased for every location.

maybe new york

I'm guessing it will be in New York City and here's why.

Mojang seems to switch from a US location to a European/other location every other minecon.
NYC is one of the largest cities in the world and is a good place to hold an event like this, especially because Mojang said at minecon 2015 that "they try to make the event bigger and better every year".
NYC has many very big convention centers that can easily hold minecon.[DOUBLEPOST=1436302258,1436301865][/DOUBLEPOST]Also, St. Louis Missouri is an undermentioned choice. If anybody here has been to FIRST World Championships, you would know that America's Center in St. Louis would work really well for an event like this. Additionally, St. Louis isn't a huge city when it comes to population compared to LA and NYC and it's also in the center of the US.
