" Wow, a league office employee stopped by. Thanks for visiting and trying to claim the extra two guys on the field were good. My wife wanted to leave at halftime. The high school bands were great, but the (lack of) organization in the whole evening drove us nuts. I complained to one of the Extreme staff, and he said, "hey, don't blame us, the league has kind of taken over everything." The opening introductions were terrible, too. Couldn't understand a word, and there was 3 or 4 or 7 guys coming out of the tunnel thing all at once...it was pretty bad. "

" I've been to every road venue the Extreme has played in, and don't move it is right. Sure, other places would be good hosts, but if you want it to be a showcase, keep it in Bloomington. Also, I liked the guys on the field hosting the events. They took some of the better promotions from around the league and did a great job hosting them. The Extreme promotions are generally pretty boring (except for the Kiss Cam). I liked seeing some of the other dance teams and mascots. I thought it was a great night! "

" I would agree that it needs to stay right here, but after talking to some of the Extreme staff last night after the game, there needs to be some conditions: 1. Let the Extreme staff run the show, the 45 minute halftime was awful. 2. Let the Extreme announcers do their job. Those two other guys that were brought in didn't need to be there. 3. Generally, the out of town guys need to just stay out of town. Other than that, enjoyable game, and after going on the road with the team twice (Rockford, Evansville), there's no place like the Coliseum. We have it much better than they do. "

" I've been through Bloomington - Have no probelm with it, but I have also been to several other places with UIF teams, and many would be great host sites, with wonderful people and plenty of hotels. I can't imagine ANY reason not to move it. But I appreciate the hometown support. "

" Dakota, keep the Classic in Bloomington. It's the nicest arena in the league, and it's the most centrally located. There are plenty of hotels for people to stay at, and you know you're going to get a good crowd. Maybe Rockford--but they only drew like 1800 people for a playoff game--or St. Louis, because they're both geographically in the middle. But Bloomington's arena is nicer than both and you'll get more fans. "
