YOu sound like Hillary or Obama. If we have a deficit, raise taxes. Do you really think that we would get more kids to pay $40 if it were in the coliseum? You would lose entries no doubt. We will be sending our novice kids to the Classic, to get them a taste of the big time, though it isn't Tulsa nationals. Now, if we told those kids that they had to pay $40 to wrestle the classic, they would not go.

If it were as easy as raising admission prices, don't you think it would have been done already.

Again, if the Classic's detractors want to run it their way, more power to them. The Sports Commission would be glad to accept their help and guarantees or success.
