The location where the event was being held was the Jacksonville Landing - a festival marketplace in downtown Jacksonville, Florida.

The complex was opened in 1987 to the cost of $37.5m and helped to revitalise the city.

While the second level of the building was a dedicated food court, the western section eventually became the video arcade.
