Are 8 mats really needed for a one site state tournament. If you could do it in 3 days (thurs Fri and Sat) in sessions could it be done with 6 mats. Six 38 ft mats in 2 rows of 3 mats would require and area 114 feet X 76 feet. Plus you would need additional room around the block of 6 for walking, scorers etc--how much additional room--10 feet? So, a minimum of 135 feet X 96 feet. If using 40 foot mats 160 feet X 80 feet

Have tried for two days to find the floor specs for Allen Field House, Bramblage, and Koch arena. Must be top secret info.

Hartman Arena floor size is 200 X 85-a regulation ice hockey floor-should be able to get eight 38 or eight 40 foot mats down with adequate perimeter space. But, Hartman only seats 5,000 for sporting events.

Landon Arena at the Topeka Expocenter. Specs say the floor is 221 feet X 111 feet, 22500 square feet. Picture show an ice hockey floor which if regulation is 200 X 85. Landon seats 7450 if configured for hocky. Might jam a few more for HS wrestling.

Appears Landon Arena may be the best currently available location for a one site state HS wrestling tournament--other than Allen or bramblage (if we knew their demensions).

If going to do only one tournament it should be in a central location.
