Wait a minute Mr. Cokeley, when did this forum move from concession stand prices to Split tournaments? I think your discussion of this has gone too far. Its not going to happen any time soon, so why rehash it? Do you really think that all the people that make this tournament happen want to spend another entire weekend just to make 30% of the peopel involved in Kansas wrestling happy? Furthermore are you going to front the bill to rent out the expocenter for another weekend? Cause it is cheap. Relevance is the key to this discussion. Having a split tournament is not going to make consession prices go down, period.
Now as to the topic at hand. Everyone need to stop about this issue. It's been covered many many times and the fact remains there is nothing than can or will be done about it. Its just like buying gas, no one likes the fact that you have to pay $1.70 a gallon but you do becuase you have to. You don't have to buy consession food, its a convience. You can always leave the expo and go elsewhere if you don't want to pay. I'm sorry if I seem rude but it really gets to me that people want to dictate food prices becuase thats whats suits them. My best suggestion is to keep a cooler in your car filled with all the goodies you want, and go outside and tailgate when you get hungry. ITs a short little walk out there I don't think it will kill you. The expocenter is a business and they have to make as much money as they can, and frankly I don't see any problem with it. I just don't buy food when im there unless im willing to pay the price.
