Madison sweetens deal to keep WIAA tournaments as Green Bay makes push

Madison continues to sweeten its bid to keep the state high school basketball tournaments, making Kohl Center more available, offering cash to the WIAA and ensuring better deals for parking, lodging and restaurants. Madison didn?t initially recognize the danger of losing the tournaments but is now doing all possible to keep them, Mayor Paul Soglin said. The plans are a collaboration between the university, the city and the hospitality industry. They would include a contribution to the WIAA from the Greater Madison Convention and Visitors Bureau.
