i think Hartman could add 4a back. if you take the wrestlers out of the stands and let them set up sitting areas up on the top row behind the seating. they also have other rooms where wrestlers could set up camp. Im not trying to talk about other sports but if you have been to a volleyball tournament its exactly like that. teams set up an area for the kids to rest with food and all that. obviously they would not let you bring food in cause thats like jail time at Hartman. I know the Newton tournament is set up like that. i do realize it would be more people but with a little work it could be done. The stands werent exactly packed with just 5 and 6a. Even the finals was not packed. Yes it would have its challenges but i think it could be done. Im not sure how much money that would save but im thinking it would save quite a bit. Then that money could be used in getting a grand state started because its just the right thing to do for the sport.
