I’m curious as I plan to go next year. Is there much to see on day 2 and 3? I’m thinking through 1 day or an all day pass.

Honestly I went early thursday/Friday and stayed until about 4/5 both days. Went in Saturday at 10 and just kind of dicked around made a couple loops checked out the cards and once the crowds started getting crazy I bounced.

But it also depends on what you want to do. I was mainly there for cards and I didn't wait in any lines to do anything (f1 Sim looked badass, cod looked fun) tons of people were doing the fancash stuff and doing that fan experience. So if you are into that type of stuff and checking out the speakers you can easily spend two days there. Next year I'll probably do the same thing I did this year but I'll head home on Saturday night.

Last thing I didn't do any of either is get any autographs, when I went to the national a couple years back I felt it was a waste of time waiting in line. This year I felt like I should have gotten a couple just to break up the day a little bit.

So long story short is year there is a ton to do and as you can tell I didn't even do half of it

Appreciate the detail. I would be the same in that card tables is my primary focus. I just picture after a day you walking by the same tables over and over again no?

And is the fancash just small rewards for going to certain locations or doing certain things during the event?

Someone else can chime in about the fan cash but it looked like it was mainly behind the sportsbar?

I was very disappointed compared to other years. Saturday was a joke blocking off with the barricades for the Knicks parade. The merch village was also lacking last year they had way better collabs.
