i would agree you can not please every one, and it's not the gas price's that would bother me. it is the 6 and 1/2 hour drive 1 way .

no one in eastern kansas has any where close to that drive time. if it was held in wichita it would equal about the same. still less of a drive for any one out east.

i do not see a downside of having it in wichita. like i said i like topeka, and if it is held there we will be more than happy to go there. but wichita make's sense.
