Good Point Scott. I assumed Manhattan had enough hotels given the fact they host several sold out Big 12 football games each year. I know JC has built several hotels over the last 10 yrs...not sure about Manhappiness.

I suggest Bramlage becasue it is a building I have been in. I know 8 mats will fit. I have no idea if its a possibility at Koch Arena or Allen Field House.

What about the Expo Center in Topeka? No one ever suggests Topeka. What am I missing WRT to the Expo Centers perceived shortcomings? I've attended many Kids State tourneys there and if memormy serves me, it seems that building would work. Plenty of amenities in Topeka...parking, hotels, restaurants, etc.

Every year...UGH

I don't think Allen Field House can hold 8 mats.

There should be plenty of hotel space in Manahattan. No way does the state tournament draw as many fans as a Wildcat Football game.

Yes, every year but its my favorite topic. KS has a lot of things right when it comes to wrestling but this state fiasco aint one of them.

The same way you pile on the refs every chance you get...each year when this topic comes up, I jump on it. BTW, I agree with every point you make about the refs. I have witnessed all of what you talk about this year and it isn't pretty.

Got it...the circus runs us out of town. If a Grand State would ever actually be a reality, the smart guys might have to look at adjusting the wrestling season IOT secure the facility it requires to make it happen.
