E3 2010 Attendance Numbers, E3 2011 Receives Date

It's always amazing how quickly E3 moves, and just how fast we can put it all behind us and focus on the coming year.

This year's Electronic Entertainment Expo is complete, and the Entertainment Software Association has released the attendance numbers for the show: around 45,600 attendees from 90 different countries around the globe came to attend the major press conferences and visit booths from 300 different exhibitors. These statistics are a bit higher than E3 2009, which saw 41,000 attendees storm the Los Angeles Convention Center. Speaking of the LACC, this is where E3 2011 will be; the ESA has announced the show's return to the popular arena, and next year's event will run from June 7 through June 9. Highlights from E3 2010 include Sony's PlayStation Move and 3D presentations, Microsoft's Kinect and Xbox 360 Slim, the 3DS and a new Zelda from Nintendo, and other big-name games like Gears of War 3 , Twisted Metal , and Killzone 3 . We have no idea what awaits us at E3 2011 but in all honesty, we don't really care right now. We'll just recover from E3 2010 and thank God that summer isn't loaded down with high-profile titles.

But of course, we're only mere months away from the inevitable fall crunch, which is bound to be just as insane as ever.

Ok if the team itself had a hand in the stadium I would guess that they would want an outdoor stadium but it's more for the comfort and safety of the viewer. We are in tornado valley and infamous for random storms, in which case you put a lot of lives at risk in an outdoor stadium, if there was a tornado and I was in INDY I would head straight for Lucas Oil Stadium, that place is a fortress. Point being while the game originated outdoors doesn't mean a good game can't be played indoors. Look at hockey most certainly an outdoor game, but you know what they play nothing but inside. basketball once again originated outdoors, look where it ended up? I believe soccer and baseball should still be played outdoors though being the ball goes high most of the time. My point is this, if you enjoy the game, it shouldn't matter to you whether it's played inside or outside. and yes sir GO COLTS!!! 😀

Speaking of games that should be played outside because the ball goes too high….in Football (NFL/college ball) the ball typically goes higher than the ball does in soccer. Of course, the folks in Dallas know all about this thanks to Rob Bironas of the Titans.

haha yes indeed they do ;)Overall my point is if you are a true fan of the game you will watch it no matter where its played at.

As someone who has watched NFL games in the Kingdome and at Qwest Field, I would concur wholeheartedly. Domes are evil.
