The giant convention center in downtown Milwaukee was the most convenient, and nicest place in my opinion. The one in Indy is okay, but it was super cheap to get a room to stay at a vacant college dorm room in Milwaukee within walking distance of the con when it was there. You don't really have that option in Indy, which is partially why I've only gone twice since they moved.
Indianapolis, Indiana. Moved from Milwaukee in the early 2000s, and before that Lake Geneva, WI (thus the name Gen Con).
by the time i'd heard about it, '86, it was in Milw. grew up near there but never made it. iirc, they had it at UWParkside one year.
