I do like the feel of a packed high school gym, BUT ........ you can't go back to that system. It just isn't fair to the majority of schools in the 15th that don't have the size to host. There are only a handful of schools large enough to host the regional and that leaves most out. Plus, even those schools with larger gyms can't compete with the Expo on size. With the size of the Expo Center, there is NO REASON that anyone should not be able to see their team play and see them play in a comfortable setting. As for travel, yeah it is not centrally located, but I mean how long of a drive is it. The longest drive for a team is probably Lawrence and they can still get there as quick or quicker than they could Morehead when they were in the 16th. I have been to the 16th Regional at MSU and I can say that the comfort for the fans is much better at the Expo. But until the high schools can match what the Expo offers, WHY would anyone want to go back to the old system.

Plus the Rupp Arena feel of the site helps to prepare our regional winner for the Rupp experience.

I vote to stick with the Expo! The 45 minute drive is well worth it! Most every school is within an hour drive. And if ppl can't come out once a year and drive to Pikeville to support their team, then let them stay home!
