I thought this year's state tournament was the best I've been to. Everything went very smoothly for an event of this magnitude and I sincerely thank everyone involved. I know it is a tremendous undertaking.

My only issue, (and I know we've had this before) is the concession situation. I know that this is part of the contract with the Expocentre and that we need this facility or one like it, and they are probably all similar, but I think it is outrageous restrict bringing food/drinks in and then to charge $3.50 for a bottle of water, $3.75 for gatorade, and a hundred dollars for a hot dog. This practice also leads to the somewhat aggrevating and time consuming searches of purses and bags. I'm not against them profiting from the concessions, but they seem to be a little bit abusive about it. I'm sure there are quite a few wrestling families that are financially burdened by the travel, hotel rooms, and lost wages. They shouldn't be required to buy $3.50 bottles of water.(sorry, that still makes me mad)
