Thanks for the support Rough. This is the response I received at 7:46am this morning from the Bicentennial Center. I would guess Salina rakes in close to $1M in revenue on this tournament. One would think they would be a little more open to discussing change.

Bret,
Good morning. Thank you for your email. The Bicentennial Center is one of few multi-purpose facilities of 6,500 seats or more in Kansas. We reference our policies and pricing on regional standards and proudly position ourselves cheaper than alternative locations. To address your comments below specifically:

Concessions - Outside food and beverage are not permissible in other arenas.

Quality - We agree there are necessary upgrades to bring the facility up to standard of other facilities in the country. New sound system and IT upgrades are categories we will address in the near future.

We will forward your comments to the event promoter so they can decide whether to address this further.

Thanks,
Chris
