NCAA D1 track and Dempsey indoor - good enough?

Dempsey is a GREAT place to compete. It might suck for spectators, but racing on a track lined with screaming track fans is exhilarating.

Agreed. But is racing in a warehouse the pinnacle of the sport?

No. Absolutely not.

What about when amazing races happen and nobody can see it?

Is sitting on the floor all day before the race really what these athletes deserve? Is somewhere to sit too much of a luxury for a PAC12 athlete?

Shouldn't be. Seems to be the sad reality, however.

Again, when will D1 Track and Field deserve more? What about the spectators? When more programs get cut or budgets shrink we may want to consider conversations like this. What about the spectators/supporters/fans? Surely we have enough foresight to consider the fans as a critical part of moving this sport forward.
