We are not talking about bringing in our own conssession stand. I understand that there has to be bag searches for security. We are asking to bring in reasonable food for our athletes. JOC, Tulsa Nationals, Liberty Nationals, Kliff Keen...all of these tournaments allow this. Whey not the Expocentre? I am tired of hearing it is protocall. It does not have to be. Parents, coaches, and kids will still spend money at the consession stands no matter what. These are kids and they like icecream, hot dogs, and such. But to lean on the fact of "That is the way it is these days" approach does not cut it. As an organization we can make rasonable requests for the betterment of our athletes. I don't think our counsel has fought hard enough. We do have a bargoning chip....5000+ people in the city of Topeka spending money. I know we will not walk away from the Expcentre if it does not give us what we want, but I think that we need to try. So lets stop walking on eggshells and make some reasonable requests.
