Mings Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Unfortunately I don't think they will accept student submissions. I may send an email to see unless you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moser316 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 3,000 capacity? That's an awfully small ballpark by even Frontier League standards. If I had the time and money to travel to Topeka to present, I would modify the stuff I did for you a couple years ago (I believe mine was about 5,000 capacity)...
