Ranger123 43 Report post Posted September 14, 2006 We'll probably hear more from Julian Tackett at the rules meetings coming up. I personally think it is a great location and venue. If we could just figure out a way to get a little more warmup room it would be perfect. I think I have heard some discussion about EKU (Richmond), but I don't think that would be as nice a setup.

thegreatgatsby 23 Report post Posted September 14, 2006 Mayor Jerry Abrahmson and U of L A.D. Tom Jurich said that once the new arena is built in downtown Louisville, They hope to host such events as NCAA volleyball and wrestling national tournaments. If its going to be nice enough to host NCAA's, it would be kind of cool to have our state tournament there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it was free for some time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grappler-of-old 44 Report post Posted September 14, 2006 Another problem that comes up is parking.Even though parking in Frankfort is sometimes hard to find it is free for the spectators. At the other facilities parking would cost the spectators. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ROTC112 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2006 EKU would not be a good place to host the tournament. I go there and I can tell you that with the limited parking and the tournament starting on a weekday it would not be pleasant. The arena is not big enough either to house the crowds we've had the past couple of years. It might fit about half of that plus its just a basketball court and the area around it is condensed so you could barely get 4 mats down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
