Tom, I'm just throwing this out there (and this will sound crazy), but is there a reason we don't have a regional/event in Iowa? I imagine we could easily get all the Iowa Teams, a few Missouri, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota teams to come over... I think that we could pretty easily get 60+ teams who would want to play against the Iowa power houses, that would be a stones throw away
If KC moves towards districts, this might be something for all of us Iowa teams to consider checking into. When we were in KC I was thinking to myself, "Wouldn't the State Fairgrounds Jacobson Center make a GREAT place for a regional?" Since it does sit in the crossroads of 35 & 80! haha
