Jake Peavy
“Accommodations are more like those of a dormitory than a hotel.

Patrick Ford

“You are talking about what 15 to 20 hotels can do for the tournament, not just the ones downtown. You are talking about providing easy transportation and entertainment in all parts of the community. It has to be that kind of effort.”
Dave Blank
