I like it.
Does anyone know what kind of attendance they get for the State meet?
I also like that soccer was singled out. I still believe that WSU could put together some decent teams and utilize quite a bit of local talent to get there. It's definitely a growing sport in this area with the youth.Infinity Art Glass - Fantastic local artist and Shocker fan

.
ABC probably would have access to the economic figures generated by the State Track Meet in Wichita. I know it's a big number, and would be interested to know.

At peak time of the state meet it probably has 15-18k people in attedance. Because it's a 2-day long all-day meet, the average is probably more around 10-12k. But with a 10k+ berm stadium, it would be overflowing at the busiest times. Also, the throwing events are currently outside of the stadium. I don't know where if the throwing events would move inside, but there are a couple thousand outside the stadium during those events. If everything is inside then it would be packed.

I was just curious as I'm not a frequent goer of these events and I know it's just one weekend out of the year, but want to make sure it's adequate.
I'm still more excited about the possibility of soccer coming.Infinity Art Glass - Fantastic local artist and Shocker fan

The current throwing area outside the stadium is high quality and perfect for state track. There could be some small upgrades, but the space is good the way it is. But who knows if campus wants that space for something else?

Is it possible to modify, extend, build a high quality throwing pit in the area currently used so often to the south of CKA (or am I really off base on where things happen)?
I've heard the location of berm seating might be on the backstretch (east side) with seating on the north and south end. Seating on the north end would not be a good idea as there are no track and field events there (except watching runners pass by). A berm on the north would be better with seating on the east. Imagine if it rains.
