I'd have to agree with the above posters' statements as well.

It also advertises the city, which is overshadowed by SF and LA. An interesting tidbit: the Con is so big, that the Padres, neighbors to the convention center, have no home games this week.

Everything I've read about the San Diego Comicon makes it sounds like a trade show first and foremost, and a vehicle for promoting awareness of comics as a very, very distant second. Of course, if they're eligible for tax-free status then they'd be fools not to take up the option, but that does seem like a remarkably generous law. They’ve got a point, to be honest.
