Tell you what....the work your tourism bureau, USA wrestling, university, HWC and the Iowa wrestling program do together should be modeled across the US to show how to grow not only the sport as a whole but develop a niche market that brings outside money in. Events like this help hotels, eateries, convenience stores, car rentals, etc. Impact beyond the mat is generally not recognized by press, but i think its felt locally.

Its absolutely great the IC community keeps getting recognized. However would be remiss if the big reason they keep getting events isnt acknowledged, in that without the hawk fans flocking to these events even the best planned event would fall flat.

kudos to getting this done.

Not wanting to get political here, but will the Iranian fans be able to come with the travel ban? I sure hope so; I would love to see the energy they would bring to an already awesome venue.

LA is the second most populated city in the world (after Tehran) with Iranians (Persians) living in it. Similar to the Worlds in Vegas, they traveled from LA.
