Were any of you in Des Moines that are bitching about attendance? If not...you are the problem! Americans deserve to get their arses kicked by the Africans. Do you think they EVER bitch and moan about a venue or the heat or lack of entertainment..etc. etc. No, they just laugh at us pu$$y Americans while they blow by us on the track. And then we blame the heat or whatever. If you can't enjoy a sport that doesn't fill up stadiums...go find something else. Americans don't have the attention span for track...unless they have a good product to see. The Drake Relays are a much better product than USA's. And the final session sells out every year! Rain, sun, heat, or SNOW!! (14000+) USATF just expects people to show up with ZERO promotion.
