The remodel changed the lower seating, Destroying sight lines with partially extended bleachers...the nearside mats were obscured on both sides of the Dome. The current bleacher setup obscures the least mat space (i don't know the visibility from upstairs on the side with the head tables). Floor access was lost period due to the remodel.
The remodel is what led the Gridiron 🏈 Classic to leave the Dome.
From what I hear as a nonfan of basketball 🏀 the changes are great for the Hardwood Classic.
I don't know if there are other venues with sufficient floor space and seating (indoors)
Of course the meet could be extended over multiple days like some other states... say start on Wednesday like Iowa and require fewer mats while nominally keeping everyone together (multiple sessions) or the event split...both ideas seem to be generally poo-pooed on this site, so I'm not sure where your miracle venue exists.
