Jimtown 138 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 So what's the best way to get the kids good food in the coliseum and not feed them the carnival food they serve? Can the kids carry a cooler in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boot Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 They check coats, purses, and bags to take food. The people in front of me had to throw away their water bottle and granola bar in their purse and they made a little girl throw away the apple she was eating. Another tip: meet at the mall and pack as man people as you can in 1 car, they charge for parking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlevito Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 The wrestlers can carry in coolers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boot Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Yeah, left that out. They can take food in, but you won't be taking them anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I walked in from parking I wondered why I was walking past so many PO'd people that were taking their coolers back to their cars I just think it's strange that all year long the coach preaches, "Don't eat junk, eat good food and no soda!" and we go to semi state and that's all you can get. OK, so the wrestlers can carry something in... thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrestlinghog Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 At Goshen, I somehow got by with a backpack. But sounds like that is not gonna make it, if they frisk you. Man do they have dogs sniffing you down or what? At Goshen I took stuff I know I wouldn't find there, blueberries, walnuts, protein bars, and water. Can you leave between matches, or are you locked in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure to send Chris with a cooler that he can carry in himself when he goes with the team. I'm not sure about being locked in. I think I remember people going out and smoking.

infowrestling Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I'm sure if we had our semi state tournement at the in ROMEColiseum someone would complain about something...........at least it's not Merrilleville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boot Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I grew up always going to Merrillville, and even though it's a smaller venue it was much better. Great competition, great finals with the lights down, free parking, the floors are warm enough the mats aren't like concrete, and always great and friendly hosts who don't take food away from kids.
