Since when did Indoor need to become more appealing?
Since the entry numbers at USIC and other indoor meets throughout the USA
has been declining-for about 20 years now, steadily. The indoor contests
that left are now normally subsidized by outdoor FF clubs and their
relatively fat treasuries. How many indoor-only (or primarily indoor) FF
clubs are there in the USA? How long would USIC survive without NFFS (mostly
outdoor flyers) stepping in with AMA? How much money has USIC lost for AMA
and NFFS in recent years due to declining numbers?
I love indoor FF and want to see it thrive. But it seems like there is a lot
of foolish pride standing in the way of bringing indoor into the 21st
century.
