Was not there but have watched a lot of big tournaments: Bobcat classic, Lv Challenger, BIT, etc. Half the stands are taken up with coolers, lunch bags, gym bags, wrestlers laying on the bleacher seats, etc. Limiting some of the baggage to areas outside the seats make for a more comfortable area and pleasing tournament for the fans--may even clear enough space to allow having a 6a5a4a state tournament again. Yes, concessions are expensive--just one of the things you half to accept---plus the arena owners rely on concessions to make a profit. If we are going to complain do it on a real problem (three different sites for state, no live streaming for 4A, real time live TV broadcast for state tournaments, plus many more relevat issues!!.
