Never been there but looks good on the web.
Says it seats only 5,000 for sports. Is that enough for 6A and 5A. Those 2 class filled 2/3s or more of the Kansas Coliseum back when 654A state was there--and I think the Coliseum seating was around or over 10,000. Do not think you can fit three classes in Hartman. Have heard that some 4A folks do not want 4A to leave Salina. But, geting three classes under one roof should save a lot of rent and other costs--if anybody is looking to save money.
A good reason to stay in the Wichita is or was the community support structure for the tournament--or so it was a few years ago when I last attended. Assume it was still there the last couple of years when the tournament was at Intrust.
Is the Coliseum still operating? A big barn but still a good venue.
