Intimidating??? What’s more intimidating a) a stuffy High School gym where you can’t find a seat, the decibel level is so high you can’t hear yourself think, and mat space/coaching areas are so congested that you are stepping over or on each other with any move; or b) chair-back seats, ten full size mats on an arena floor with plenty of room to move around, and a place for kids/spectators/coaches to get away from the noise. I would say that option a) is more intimidating...but maybe that’s just me. And it will be a huge bonus not to have to worry about whether fire marshals are doing their job or not…because it will not be an issue when you host these events in a facility that does not exceed its intended capacity.

Good job Jr. Vikings and crew. This is a good move for our District and the State’s 6U competitors. I am not sure how anyone could even make a good faith argument that improving on the venue is a bad thing. …other than those with a financial stake in the original deal.

Confucius say, hmmmm.
