No, the EXPO center does not have the same atmosphere of regional tourneys in the past
...no sitting crammed in next to a sweaty neighbor
...no fire marshall locking the doors because the gym was full
...no players flying into the 3rd row of the bleachers to save a wayward pass
Boy, I sure miss those HS gyms......NOT.
If the 15th Region Tournament ever leaves the EXPO it will be a travesty...besides the schools will get a larger financial cut than ever before.

Foxsports, explain to our members how the schools will get a larger financial cut. I have been told by a school principal that the cut will be less than ever before. In fact the figure quoted to me was less than $3,000. I have attended every 15th region tourney in the last 10 years. I have never sat beside of a sweaty neighbor, I have never seen a fire marshall lock a door. It may have happened, but I have never been turned away. Expo Center is nice for the press, terrible for the players, terrible for the fans and you better have a pocket full of money. You will see the HS crowd get smaller once the new wears off. I for one will not be back thier unless my team is playing. Last year I attended every night at SV.
