The Hawks threw together the Soldier Salute when Northwestern announced in 2021 that they were cancelling Midlands for a second consecutive year due to COVID. The announcement came on December 22, when the tournament was scheduled for December 29th. Izzy and Willie threw together the Illinois Matmen Open in less than a week and Iowa threw together then Soldier Salute. Iowa said that year that they were going to make that an annual tournament and that they would not be back to the Midlands. Midlands had been going downhill for a number of years prior to COVID, but it was still always competitive with Iowa, Penn, Princeton, Wisconsin, Northwestern. And, while the NOW arena is a nice venue, Midlands did much better when it was at Welsh-Ryan Arena. The move to Hoffman Estates was originally supposed to be temporary while Welsh-Ryan was being renovated. But, with the new seating configuration at Welsh-Ryan, the venue could not accommodate more than 6 mats. Moving to the NOW Arena resulted in ticket pricing and parking prices to more than double. The crowds at the NOW Arena, especially on day 2, couldn't compare to what they used to draw in Evanston. This is only the second year since 1988 that I having attended Midlands, but it was an easy decision to make. The competition was as weak as I have ever seen it.....perfect reason to catch the few good matches on BTN+ and forget the rest. Nice job on the podcast guys. I enjoy listening.
Thanks!
