The research file for Project Wildcat, in five groups — the same five as the buttons under the header. Research trip holds the five venues walked on 27–30 August. Desk research holds operators read about from public sources and never visited. IAAPA is the November trade show. Project Wildcat is our own concept — what the 17 September session decided, and a builder where each person sizes their own version. FEC News is a dated industry feed.
Each record is a reference to check against — not a conclusion.
Every figure came from a public source: the venues' own sites, local press, county and census data, trade coverage and review platforms. Sources are cited block by block — tap the small gray line under a section to see them.
Where something could not be found it says Not found rather than guessing. Where two sources disagree, both are shown. Nothing here is our own estimate unless it is labeled as arithmetic.
Each venue's attraction list opens with a verification status. Read it. Operators change their line-up without updating their website, so treat every attraction as a claim to confirm with your own eyes, not a fact. If something listed here is not there, that is a finding worth capturing.
Create Submission is the phone form. Set who you are and which venue once, then send as many notes as you like — each one can carry photos and video with a description of what each shows. It works with no signal and sends when you get one.
Click a group under the header to open its records, then a record to open it; its sections run down the left. Home shows every group at a glance. Compare puts the five August venues side by side. Press / anywhere to search every record at once, or use Ask AI to ask a question across the whole file.
Records compiled 21 August – 21 September 2026; each record carries its own date · Internal use only · Not for external distribution.
