Stargate Universe Panel
Comic Con 2009
MGM new show in the Stargate series Stargate Universe made it's Comic Con premiere in Hall 20 on Friday July 24th to a near capacity crowd of 4,200 people. While yes there were people there to see some of the panels scheduled in the hall later that day such as "24" judging by the fact that close to half the people in the room left after the Stargate panel ended it would be safe to say that many of those in attendance were there to get a first look of the new Stargate product.
