It will certainly be a sell out and for those going, will have an amazing atmosphere and yes there will always be people that have an issue.
The issues concerning the IAW l hope won't spoil people's experience, the lessons of previous events been learnt and improvements made.
The UK has many venues that can accommodate ice pads. I'm a fan of doing things right or not at all. When organising a competition you should take into account the various factors, such as costs, a neutral venue, capacity, location, amenities etc. If you cannot accomplish those basic requirements, don't try to make do, scrap it, make an alternative, preferably one that works, that way the amount of issues will reduce drastically, reducing the need to "clarify".
Having said that l appreciate the difficulty Todd has, his sentiments concerning improving the event and in no way do l voice negativity his or the Devils organisations way.
