Honestly, people need to get beyond the idea that this move from the Garden is any kind of a "sad day." Watching this year's Millrose at the Garden, THAT was tragic. The meet was down to almost nothing, and USATF did not care. They LIKED it. There was a reason why Mark Wetmore, who'd briefly run the Millrose Games, gave up on it and focused on the Boston meet.
The Armory people actually care about track and field and have created a conspicuous success at their building. Look, indoor track in the U.S. isn't what it used to be, since a top of athletes don't do the season at all or now have Europe as an option. But more top tier athletes will want to run at the Armory than at the Garden.


I agree with this post. What is sad about this situation is not that Millrose has been "downgraded" to the Armory, but that our sport is in the state that this had to be done.

THIS IS probably the best option to keep it alive. If USATF and co. aren't going to go through the trouble to promote and advance our sport, then Millrose Games are better off at the Armory. It's sad that the tradition has to evolve this way, but it's the best solution at this point in time.
