Does anyone have access to an email list? The email forms on their website don't seem to work for me.

Disregard, I logged into my account and it started to work.

Last year (June 27th 2017) is the date they voted on moving the Freestyle/Greco site from Monticello to Rochester. They haven't posted meeting minutes since January 2018 so I'm not sure when we will know. Probably need to reach out and contact them soon. Presenting them the huge drop in numbers from last year to this year would be a good starting point.
Many volunteers are working on solutions and the board is listening, it’s not nearly as simple as some make it out to be.
I am volunteering my time to MN/USA so Send me a DM if you have constructive and realistic ideas, moving locations each year and learning and teaching a new crew how to set up is huge challenge. There is a ton that goes into settings up and taking down a tournament, it takes lots of volunteers and staff support.

The State Fair Coliseum seems very appealing, and being in the Twin Cities you would think there would be an opportunity to get more volunteers being it the most populated area in the state. US Bank stadium would be the ultimate answer, but not for the price of course. You'd think a place like that would work with the price though when dealing with a non-profit organization benefiting kids in the state, but that would be something for the MN/USA board to approach.

And I agree, changing locations can't be easy and probably something that couldn't just happen year to year. I can't see the location changing to a brand new location for next year based on what goes into it. It could possibly go back to Monticello because of familiarity with the location, but anything else would need some significant planning I assume.

I agree the State Fair location could be a viable option, unfortunately it’s booked out for a minimum of 3yrs.
