Myself along with literally 10's of 1000's of other southern California track and field fans will not be the Adidas meet this Saturday.
Why you may ask?
Consider that date chosen picked the day that every high school in southern California (571 in the southern section and a 100 or so in San Diego section) will be running at their respective federation championship qualifying races, that do not end until after 6pm. It is also the Big West Conference meet at UC Irvine (southern California location) as well as the Pac 10 meet which though in Oregon has a lot of Southern California connection.
Could they not look at a calendar and note these meets occuring. This will continue to show T&F in a poor light as the meet will be televised and the stands will be empty as a big pool of potential fans have obligations elsewhere. Note this has been the case at this meet except for the year they did not do on this day.
I would love to attend but due to the HS meet and being a coach I cannot, Why not Sunday, or just a different weekend, I along with man others would be their.
I would love to see Felix, Wariner, and Gay...
