Comic-Con To Remain In San Diego Until 2016
With the event getting bigger and bigger as each year passes, it was thought organisers behind the Comic-Con International might be lured away to bigger convention centers in Anaheim or Los Angeles. Well, it has now been confirmed that they will be staying in San Diego until at least 2016.
The Los Angeles Times reports that the organisers of the Comic-Con International have agreed to extend their contract with San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders to continue using the waterfront convention center for one more year (taking them up to 2016). This comes after an intense bidding war with Los Angeles and Anaheim; both of which who have larger convention centers than San Diego and have been trying to attract the event to their respective cities since 2010. It's unsure now what will happen after their current contract expires, but San Diego city officials have reportedly approved a $520-million expansion of the convention center to keep Comic-Con and other big-ticket conventions from departing.
