About the 1984 Louisiana World Exposition – Plagued with attendance problems, the 1984 Louisiana World Exposition has the distinction of being the only exposition that has declared bankruptcy during its run. Many blamed the low attendance on the fact that it was staged just two years after Knoxville’s 1982 World’s Fair just two states away.
