How big is your new arena? Big enough to host the 8A tournament? Going to apply?

The main arena holds about 1,800 to 2,200. We all know the obvious best choice is the little Ralph but if Warroad and EGF get to host than Crookston better be able to.

Random, but I had a State baseball tournament in Crookston back in high school, and I was pretty impressed by the athletic complexes this city has. Idk specifically about hockey, but there were about 15 very nice basbeall fields. Im glad the community puts this as a prioroty.
