They miss out on the atmosphere, but that can be adjusted if they would do it, but if they move it back to the high schools, they will miss out on the money that having it at the Arena brings in to all the smaller schools in the region. A small school like Barbourville played in one round last year and received over $3700, that is a big chunk of change for a school with just over a 100 kids. So the choice is atmosphere or money? Fans choose atmosphere, most of the schools will choose the money everytime. Except for the big schools, because they have it and don't need it as bad as the smaller schools do.

With all this said, I do believe Harlan County will be hosting at their new gym next year, then it returns to the Arena the following year!
