Re: Convention Center
Yep, McCormick is the world's largest convention center and the #1 busiest in the US.
Most of that prestigue is because it's Chicago, but that does tell one something about the thought of making a cc the 'showpiece' of your city rather than businesses/skyscrapers, cultural amenities, urban fabric, and QoL attractions (that Chicago excels in). People may come to Chicago because of the conventions but they stay enjoying the city and leave remembering what Chicago has to offer (with almost no recollection of McCormick other than its huge and out of the way).
Oklahoma City, the RENAISSANCE CITY!
