Someone's going to have to build a facitlity large enough to hold the entire state, before you can even begin asking to have all 6 classes in one house!

The facility just does not exist!
FHSU couldn't hold it.
Salina couldn't hold it.
Bramblidge couldn't hold it.
Allen FH couldn't hold it.
The Expo might be able to (but you'd have to move the date seeing how the Shriner's have it locked up for their circus), but I still don't know how you'd get 16 mats down (4 for each class A level.
The KS collisium might be able hold it (but we all know how cruddy their customer service was), could possibly get 16 mats down, but it would require dismantling the hockey rink.
And the "Downtown arena" that's being build in Wichita, sure isn't going to be able to hold it.

So all this talk of having all of Kansas in one venue for state wrestling needed to be halted, until someone gets the dough and builds a facility that would hold the 16 mats comfortably, the 56 16-man brackets that would bring 896 wrestlers and all their coaches, families, friends, cheerleaders and school personel into its frame!!!
