Anyone been to both Spring Fling & MATS?

For those who have been to both MATS and Spring Fling (Neil I know you have), which show has better / larger swap meet?

I'm trying to decide which one to go to?  Thanks in advance for the help?

Never did Spring Fling but MATS was a great time!!!

Been to both many times.  Spring Fling has a better swap meet area.

WOW, looking at the websites I figured MATS would have the bigger swap.  That's good to know as I'm planning on driving to one of these shows this year just for the swap.

THANKS! 

Been to both many times.  Spring Fling has a better swap meet area.

I cannot explain why but I have to agree the Spring Fling seems to be better , the west coast is weird , Carlisle is the biggest swap & is well attended but the MATS seems to always struggle with attendance even though I feel it is the best run show of the bunch , no other meet has a concert both fri & sat nights after the show .

Been to both several times.  Love both.

Spring Fling has the better swap area and car show

MATS has drag racing and nightlife

The thing I love most about MATS is the cruise from Phoenix to Vegas.  If the cruise didn't exist and I had to choose one show, I'd pick Spring Fling.  But I don't drag race, drink or gamble.

That is ALL I do.  And preferably at the same time!

I was considering the MATS, but you guys seemed to talk me out of it.

   I was all ready to go to MATS, but I REALLY like the swap meets and now will be going to Spring Fling.
