What about Landon Arena in Topeka. 221 X 111 feet. Will hold 8 40 foot mats--maybe even 9. Seats 7700 in theater seats. May add a few additional seats for a four 4 mat finals--some seats pull out from under from under the main seats. Could add s many as 528 seats for a capacity of 8200+. Note: would take some manpower, time and extra costs to add the additional seats.

Understand the reason probably not in Landon already is booking conflicts. Circus is and has been booked into Landon for the last weekend in Feb for years. Don't know about the 3rd weekend in Feb or 1st weekend in March. But, if KSHSAA were to say they could bring in 13 to 15K spectators, Landon might come available.
I think most of the surrounding states hold their tournaments a week before Kansas. Can Kansas shorten the year by a week--or start a week earlier. Need to do something to consolidate the tournaments rather than playing switch'em or talking the issue to death.


Comments on Landon from the Kids Wrestling community? Understand you have a Kids State at Landon in late March.
