I think it is fine for individuals to contact the arena, but the real impact will come from the larger and more successful clubs declaring they will not come back.
Those clubs that finished in the top ten carry the real weight. E. Kansas, Maize, Young Guns, Ark City, Brawlers, Great Bend, Abilene, Olathe South, MOKWC, you are the key to changing the food and drink policy (btw, they checked my binocular bag. Sheesh!! This is not a college football game with a fake bi-nocs filled with Jack Daniels.)
If your clubs declare now, that you will not return,the Salina club may be able to get the restrictions lightened up. Otherwise, the directors will simply wave goodbye to a few folks and welcome the other 1300 wrestlers that will undoubtedly return.
Also, I don't buy into the greed argument. This is America. Most of us are trying to maximize our profits based on what the market will bear. I don't begrude anyone seeing what they can charge until the market tells them its too much. Now is the time for the Kansas wrestling market, through the power of its largest and most successful clubs, to tell the Bi-Center that it is not meeting its needs.
When there is a real risk that the tourney will drop from 1400 wrestlers to 500 to 600, the Bi-Center will listen. Until then, this is all just Talkforum chatter.
