just wondering why the lights have been on the past 2 years because it really takes away from the atmosphere

Just wait until the Wichita arena is built. Hopefully they can get it back to the good old days in which 4-6a are all on the mat in the same place. Its kinda boring without all the teams in there. Yeah it gets over faster but not as exciting if you ask me.

Actually, the lights were on the first year in Salina and last year we had the mat lamp. They removed the big scoreboard in the middle of the Bi-Centennial Center and hooked up the four lights you might have seen in the center. Unfortunately, the lights, which had worked in the past, would only stay on for about ten minutes and then would blow a breaker. The intentions were there, but things didn't work out.

I know that last year with the mat lamp in use that some of the officials said that the shadows being thrown out made it kind of difficult to see pinning situations on the mat. Would have been interesting to see how the four lights would have worked out.

I think I actually liked it better with lights on, for what it is worth.
