I've always kinda wondered, anyone know just how many acres the whole AirVenture site occupies? Not counting parking lots and runways?

This might help, WISCONSIN STATEWIDE PARCEL MAP
Total area: 10,359,679.04 ft² = 237.82550596878 Acres
The area is petty much where people would be walking during the show.
Not sure if that is what you were looking for?

Cool. Thanks for the info - Us city slickers are hard pressed to convert space into land acreage - lol
That area is partly made of Winnebago county land and some EAA land. Also all of Scholler is EAA land as well, as well as all the land around the museum. If you want to explore this is a great link to figure out who owns what in the parcel viewer.

Not really interested in who owns what land parcel, more just seeking a figure to use describing the event in terms of how many acres of airplanes and airplane people comprise the average AirVenture.
google earth allows you to measure areas. Click on the "ruler" in the tool bar, and then select :polygon". Select your units of measurement and go at it. Pretty straight forward.
Thanks for the Google Earth mini tutorial Kim. Looks like counting in the Musuem, North and South 40 areas AirVenture is 'about' 1500 acres all in.
I've never used Earth for more than visual sightseeing before. Nice to see what the tools can yield - lol
