ccbcdeke 43 Report post Posted February 11, 2016 I've heard through the grapevine that they will be charging for parking this year at the horse park. Just a heads up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
plantmanky1 58 Report post Posted February 11, 2016 They are I can confirm this. Not sure what final amount that was agreed upon but it will be anywhere from $6-$10. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildblueeyes 6 Report post Posted February 11, 2016 Is it the KHSAA that is charging for parking or the Horse Park? I would think if you have rented their facility that the parking comes with the rental. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coach Wagers 43 Report post Posted February 11, 2016 coaches and teams too or just spectators? We don't use bus service we drive down in cars...... Seems like another way to hurt the sport all while making money. Doesn't matter who is charging, KHSAA would be the profiteer from it. They either are charging themselves or they got a deal on the rental fee and in return allowed the Horse Park to charge. Benefits them either way. This stinks for the people who have to pay entry, travel, lodging, etc.... now throw on another fee. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildblueeyes 6 Report post Posted February 11, 2016 I took this from the KHSAA website. Looks like they will be clearing the arena on Saturday before the medal rounds this year. http://khsaa.org/wrestling/teamstateinstructions.pdf GENERAL PUBLIC/FANS/NON PARTICIPANTS Tickets will be priced at $15 for all day on Friday, and $15 for Session one on Saturday. $10 for the Medal Rounds. An all-tournament pass will be available at the gate for $25, and will be sold through Saturday morning. All individuals entering the arena will need to be ticketed or admitted via the pass gate. The gates will open for the general public at 8:30 a.m. on Friday & 8:00 a.m. on Saturday Please inform your parents and non-competing squad members about this timetable. We are unable to secure the building and provide adequately enough for the safety of these individuals until the staff becomes available when the gates open.

Nike Man 292 Report post Posted February 11, 2016 Maybe the KHSAA can use the extra money from parking to buy new podiums for the medalist, since they allowed our old ones to be thrown away due to "not having anywhere to store them." 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NatureBoy 117 Report post Posted February 11, 2016 That is pretty bad to change after these last few years .To charge anything more than a couple bucks to park means someone is banking ,I will say even though some crooks would still be scamming I would pay 5 or 10 bucks to see some kids get a decent medal and a Bracket for winning a state Title .Ky USA wrestling did however go the extra mile to honor it's champs and AAs.

Nike Man 292 Report post Posted February 11, 2016 It's going to look really special seeing the top 8 placers standing shoulder to shoulder on the floor getting their quarter sized medals. The KHSAA always doing the classy thing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NatureBoy 117 Report post Posted February 11, 2016 If that's the case then someone or everyone should find out and do something about it now even if it's putting the podium together themselves ,Then get rid of whoever is running the show . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nike Man 292 Report post Posted February 11, 2016 I was told by a Coach that was told by Mike Barren directly that the podiums were thrown away. I haven't heard about new ones being built, but I hope that is true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WristControl 49 Report post Posted February 11, 2016 I hear there will be a new podium but they're gonna charge the kids $2.50 each to step up on it. Also 50 cents for every time you spit in a trash can Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marriedtothemat 13 Report post Posted February 11, 2016 The parking charge is two-fold. They make extra money on every vehicle that enters plus discourage people from leaving to get better less expensive food because if you leave you will have to pay parking again to re-enter. Win-win for the horse park and the KHSAA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can understand a regular-season tourney doing this when it gets late in the night or whatever, but this is the state tournament. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enthusiast 14 Report post Posted February 11, 2016 I believe that all conso placement rounds will be wrestled for say 106, then the finals for 106 under lights. Then all 113 conso matches with the 113 final next under lights. same with all other weight classes 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
