As others have mentioned there are allot of good and bad about this particular weekend, many of them would be issues with other holiday weekends (since this allows allot of people at least a three day weekend)

Hate the heat but bad weather would be worst, Allot of this country does not have great weather (guaranteed) much of the year. Since I really don't care about the open track you could hold the convention anywhere (almost) but since it is a very important part for many people (not sure what the percentage of participation really is) guess we will continue paying a bunch of money and everyone will pay.

Bottom line is that this is not something we get to choose, vote on or have allot of input on. If you, we, us want to attend we go where the show is.
