With all the investment that's going to happen in the area, we thought it was a good time to consider making some changes.
We know that based on the Lewis and Clark costs and our capital costs, this probably isn't the last rate increase in the next 10 years.
We're not saying we're a sequel. No, no, no.
We have had no opposition and have been totally in support of the operation of the club for the last four years. We have no desire to close them down as a business. We do have a desire to not see that business change.
We have to wrestle better than we did (Saturday) if we want to do well in that tournament. But we're capable of that. We're just going to work on the mental aspect of the sport and keeping people healthy.
We had a lot of people who placed. We won a couple of third-place matches that were really beneficial to us.
