I totally agree that we need to get out of the Coliseum. We had a manager harassed and kicked off the floor this year. Two years ago a wrestler was kicked out for sitting in the isle. It took begging and pleading by the coach and AD to get him back inside before his next match. I think the Wichita people have forgotten what the State Tournament is all about. State should be a very special event that honors these athletes for their hard work and dedication. The kids who make it to State deserve to be treated like kings. I feel they are treated like little children.
Personally, I would like to see 4A and 321A in Salina at the Bicentenial Center. I think Hays does an excellent job of puttin on a tournament, but most 4A schools are east of Salina and don't think they would vote to go out the Hays. 5A - 6A can go to Topeka's Expo or Century II in Wichita. Maybe even trade off every other year. I feel the tournaments would be more personable and fan friendly.
I am going to write the KSHSAA also and would urge others to do the same.
