GenCon brings in millions

I had originally read Russ Pulliam's GenCon article in the newspaper (yes, I like to read dead tree newspapers)and had intended to look for it online, but with as most things I forgot.

Purple Pawn made a post about it on the RPG Bloggers Network pointing out that GenCon attendees spend on the average $1,000 each.

That seemed high to me, then I remembered the cost of parking downtown.
