I personally don't think Des Moines will know what hit them. I went down to El bait shop in between sessions and there were maybe 3 servers for the whole bar and when we got service she was furious with the bar manager. I told her she better tell him to prepare for NCAA's. High school wrestling brings a lot of families and NCAA's is going to bring a lot of adults drinking and eating all day so these bars/resturants need to be prepared.

When NCAA's were held at Oky State they ran out of beer at all the bars. Does anyone else remember that??

from article:

"The Greater Des Moines Convention and Visitors Bureau expects, conservatively, 20,000 to 25,000 visitors. More than 90,000 tickets have been sold.Downtown merchants plan a tent party on Court Avenue, and Prairie Meadows and other venues expect big business.And can these fans party. Last year, a group of Iowa Events Center and other Des Moines officials traveled to St. Louis during the 2012 championships. They witnessed the Hard Rock Cafe run out of alcohol on the first night of the event."
