Heroes’ Comic Con Presence: An Off-site Panel?
We’re hearing reports from all over that Heroes’ planned “presence” at Comic Con does include a 1-hour panel, but here’s the interesting part… it will be held off-site at the nearby Hilton San Diego Bayfront hotel. Plans include the screening of a special Season 4 trailer created specifically for SDCC, as well as a Q&A session with Tim Kring, Jack Coleman, Masi Oka, Adrian Pasdar, Zachary Quinto and newcomers to the cast Robert Knepper, Dawn Olivieri, Ray Park and Madeline Zima.
Last year’s SDCC Heroes panel completely packed the San Diego convention center’s largest venue Hall H, which seats more than 6,500.
Well this is going to be insane I’m sure. All the people staying at the hotel should have a good grip on things. I did a little research *cough* google…. Hilton Grand Ballroom 34,122 Sq. Feet but Convention center Hall H is 64,842 Sq. Feet. Yes that’s about half….
This is another attempt by the SDCC to get people out of the center due to them being sold out. There isn’t enough room for all these people! Last year there were more off site events in the hope that it would help with the congestion and lines. Now they are trying it with some of the bigger events.
The bad thing about this is that to go to the off site events you won’t be able to hit anything happening after the panel. Everything will already be full up.
Maybe you guys should have an offsite panel like heroes then?
Is this because SDCC wants to get people out of the center, or because SDCC doesn’t care enough about Heroes?
Is this still considered a SDCC event?
