Coach Twink, you flatter me. There was a BOE member at WaKeeney (whom I think may be related to wrestlingfan65?) who was insistent that the gym be built large enough to accomodate three mats end to end. Had we had more room to build, the walkway would have been wider. But the gym was/is literally "shoehorned" in its location between the tennis courts and exisiting high school building--another reason (in addition to cost) that the seating capacity is less than the desired 2000.
