I absolutely agree. This tournament has outgrown the Expocenter.
That, coupled with the completely idiotic bag searching should lead (quickly) to a move to something much nicer (which wouldn't be hard to do).
I did take the time while going through the cavity search for water bottles and other food items, to express my appreciation to the security staff for protecting us all from those evil-dooers who would try to bring in water bottles and expose us all to unauthorized water in unauthorized bottles. They didn't take my expression seriously.
On a more serious note, the expocenter is a joke. Their water bottle searching/confiscating bs is also a joke.
I'd vote for Intrust Bank Arena (Wichita) or a couple of places in Kansas City.
