Coming from someone who has rode horseback, worked cattle, stomped, fell down, touched, splashed in, etc. the waste of both cattle and horses, for 3 days straight without a shower, I am not going to agree that horse do do is a threat to our children's health. A good old fashioned cattle roundup never caused me to have anything other than saddle rash.

For your info, the Bicentennial center, Tulsa convention center, Topeka Expocenter, and many other venues that your kids wrestle in, have rodeos, horse shows, etc. in them as well. We are probably stepping in someone's dog crap walking in the grass on the way up to some of our high school gyms. My wife has never contracted any disease changing our kids' diapers.

Would I like to see it in the Coliseum, yes. But if it costs 15k per day, keep it where it is. If someone cares to go out on a limb and take it over, commit to the 15k per day for the coliseum, raise entry fees, etc. and run it, more power to them. $20 for this caliber of tourney is a bargain.

I'm sorry, Beeson, you and I are usually on the same page, but I believe you are missing out on a good opportunity for your kids by not wrestling the Classic.
