Offset the drive for who? You? Look it wasn't broke when we used to have it at the high schools with much better basketball atmosphere, so why try to fix it just to satisfy just a few? THERE IS NO GOOD ATMOSPHERE AT THE ARENA!!!! And NOBODY can dispute that.

Harlan county had a beautiful facility that I wish was centrally located. Unfortunately it isn't! I know of multiple people who wouldn't or couldn't make the games this year because it was in Harlan or should I say Baxter. The biggest reason I am an advocate of the arena is because while the fans are feeling disconnected the players feel big time. Ask the players and I bet 90% that have played in the arena wil tell you his it made the event feel big time! I appreciate the tournament thus year being in Harlan and I think they did a great job but the tournament is for the players not the people sitting in the stands!
