RJW I respect your opinion, and I agree with some of your comments, but I could not disagree with splitting up classes more. It is hard to get around and watch many other matches, yes, but there is time to see some, especially if they are exciting match ups. In a small high school gym you would have no chance to see any matches from other classes, neither would any wrestlers or fans. You also have to keep the big picture in mind as coaches aren't the only ones there. The fans, parents, and wrestlers are all part of the experience as well. There will always be difficulties with such large events, but with some thought and preparation and input from coaches, they can be overcome. I would rather put up with some headaches to keep the event large, prestigious, and exciting than be in one small gym where it would seem just like another tournament. Talk to some coaches from other states who have done it both ways. Everyone I have ever talked to, who now have their state tourney in one venue all have said it is the best thing they have done.
