OC Fairgrounds Proposals Add Space to Compete with Anaheim
02/04/2018
Master Site Plan proposals add a significant amount of new space to service convention and expo needs.
How does the added space compare to what is currently in Orange County?
| Facility | Total Event Space (sq ft) |
| Anaheim Convention Center | 961,229 |
| OC Fairgrounds "Bold" Expanded Plan | 368,280 |
| OC Fairgrounds "Aspirational" Expanded Plan | 343,280 |
| OC Fairgrounds "Bold" | 293,280 |
| OC Fairgrounds "Aspirational" | 268,280 |
| OC Fairgrounds "Minimal" | 228,280 |
| OC Fairgrounds Current Configuration | 178,280 |
| Hilton Anaheim | 161,500 |
| Disneyland Hotel | 136,000 |
While the Fair Board and Executive Management deny that they are working to move into the convention and expo business, it is obvious that the OC Fairgrounds plans to become a year round convention and expo center. There is no other reason to undertake this building campaign except to enter the year round convention and expo business.
