Barren?

So true R19, it is all about business, and yes B.A.S.S is a business and a good one, also note that this tourney was set up before the change of ownership. I too love B.A S.S, have been a member since the 70's when I was a kid. It is my opinion that they should have thought this one out a little more, yes if I would have made the st team this year and me living here in Glasgow , I would love Barren, but they seemed not to take into consideration of how this lake is, we will just have to see. But the positive thing is that our team will have an advanatge, unless it floods then well it will be anyones game. But like you said it is all about the money,also another note the State ramp is supposed to be closed to the gen public during this event due to parking, and the marina owner will be letting them use his docks so the contestants wont have to trailor to weigh in, I wish they would have used port oliver ramp as that is one nice ramp and set up for tourneys and looks like the logical one to use as it is set up for tourneys, but like I said before all this was done before the change of ownership, as it was not BASS but ESPN. Now it is back to B.A.S.S.

What money are you refering to that Glasgow put up for the event? I was under the impression from the KBFN meeting that the KY B.A.S.S. had the CHOICE of where to hold the event and that it was between KY Lake and Barren. But since alot of out of state guys could get plenty of help on KY that we went with Barren instead to give the local team a leg up. I am unaware of any money that cities or towns have put up. granted there will be revenue coming to the city from gas,lodging, restuarants, etc.
Just wondering where this idea that Glasgow "outbid" or "Won" the event over Somerset came from?
