If anyone from the IHSA becomes involved over in Indiana, your state finals will be in French Lick.

Come on Fullor that is a little bit of overreaction if you ask me. The gym was about the same fullness of the previous year when Simeon played O'Fallon in the Class AA Championship last year. It has not been jam packed as some would like to make it sound. It is always been based on teams and match ups. You get the right teams you get certain kind of crowd.
And Indiana has the same number of classes that Illinois now does. So I am not sure how it is any more broken. Unless of course you are an Illini fan that thinks Assembly Hall is something special about the Champaign location which no one but Illini fans care about. People that like paying cheaper hotel fees and can walk to many restaurants actually like Peoria and the experience over all.
Peace
