I didnt see last years venue so i do not know but as far as the arena went i thought it was great i have seen a few big tournaments i thought it was roomy plenty big enough theIr concessions could be a little better maybe let more vendors come in ,And i would blow the finals ceremony up i would love to be in charge of something like that Fog ,lights ,backdrops ,music,it would be awesome ,flashpods for finals matches AND SINGLETS AND wARMUPS FOR FINALISTS OR MAYBE JUST wARMUPS I UNDERSTAND A SCHOOL WANTING ITS SINGLET worn i would make it a tournament unlike any other in the country ,I do like the crasy pre finals thing with the beach balls and all its a great touch KY has a great state tournament ,Lexington is a perfect spot middle of the state AND VERY ATTRACTIVE SITE.
I would have the floor raised for the finals matches .
And oh yeah some states let the parents of the finalists set on the floor its a very nice gesture .
i would also have some very nice young ladies carrying around cards before each Finals match with the weights listed on them LOL,
I hear Lexington has some establishments where such ladies can be procured
seriously cheer leaders for Wrestlers Y not,
the toughest sport deserves all the extras without a doubt ,sad seeing all these kids get sold short make it something to remember .
