My 2 cents worth, haha.
I have been going to district and regional tournaments for years, I've seen the gyms packed but I have also seen the expo packed during a regional game. I see both sides of what everyone is saying, if the crowd is smaller during a game then yes being in the expo does effect crowd noise and atmosphere, but I have seen the crowds in expo erupt during games also to where you cant think. I am at local games all the time during the season and the crowds are not the same anymore. I understand that a family of 4-5, 2$ makes a difference and I understand that concessions is high. I have a family of 4 and I pay them all the time lol, but I do it because I love watching not only my kids and family playing but I love watching the game no matter where it is played. I think of it this way, we begged for years to have something to do in our area, well the city of Pikeville gave us the expo center and things to do, so I try and support it the best I can because one day it could be gone and let's be honest what else is around east ky for me or my kids to do.
