1. More room for additional mats is a good thing.
2. Closer to the action is a good thing.
3. No food Nazis is a good thing.
4. All-day parking is a good thing.
5. The central location is a good thing.
1. No dressing rooms is a negative.
2. Not enough rooms and restaurants at the exit is a negative.
3. The floor being uneven under the mats is a negative.
4. Only one entrance was a negative.
Looks to me the positives outwiegh the negatives.
I have a few other questions:
1. Why was there no impartial person for the girls weigh-ins, like for the boys?
2. Who thinks it matters when one team has to sleep in a hotel and be supervised vs. sleeping at home and not being supervised. I laughed at the idea that state qualifying wrestlers would not have the self-discipline to watch what they eat, since the most disciplined guys are the ones who make it to the state.
3. When will we ever see a true double-elimination? I hear the TSSAA wants to lower the number of qualifiers to 24. Does that make sense to anybody outside of the TSSAA offices? If they lower it, it needs to be lowered to 16, but add a new level to the entire tournament between Region and State.
4. Does anybody think that the guy who said the traffic problem will improve b'c of construction is off his rocker besides me?
5. The idea to move the mats out and put the scoreboards and scoring tables in the center is a great idea. I bet that gets fixed for next year.
6. If there were rooms to the south of Franklin, traffic would improve. Does anybody know that part of the state well enough to comment?
