From my understanding, the coliseum does not cut any slack on the price for using the arena and the price, to my understanding, is outrageous. This is why the Wichita Thunder almost left Wichita and probably why there was such a push for a downtown arena in Wichita. I agree the venue, for lack of a better word, sucks. I don't think that it's a poorly put on tournament and it does draw alot of comopetition.
