Tom,
I am really not sure if you thought my comment was attacking topeka and/or salina, but if that is what you were thinking, you are wrong. I simply said the security at topeka always seems to be brought up as an issue as well.

And as far as parents or coaches realizing that venues cost money. I do realize this. I am not a parent, but I am a coach. We as well have to pay for our venue to run our Hays tournament. So by no means am I trying to put this on the salina club, or on the state committee, as I am well aware of the work it takes to plan and put on a big tournament.

If my comments earlier were taken out of context I apologize. It was not meant as a negative view toward salina club or the state committee.
