i must say that i have not had any of the problems that everyone is talking about. of course sometime security will harass people about being on the floor, but that is better than allowing everyone on the floor. i would rather be hassled than add more people to an already over-crowded floor.
as far as moving the tournament manhattan i think that is a horrible idea. i sincerely doubt the problems you are having will disappear at a different venue. these are the same problems i hear at any event. a more important issue is regarding accommodation for a state tournament. i know that hotel rooms are usually gone quickly in wichita, do you think that smaller towns with less surrounding cities to pick-up the excess will make eating and lodging easier. if people are unhappy at wichita, then you should talk to you coaches and they can address the proper channels to make sure that they are corrected next year.
