Millrose just wont be the same outside of the garden. The armory may be a great place for a meet, but the tradition is at the garden so it should stay.

that the Armory did not pay a single penny for the rights to the meet. The way it was given to them would have caused a huge conflict of interest for any ethical organization.
The Schmertz family made it a labor of love. Howard must be very sad.
A lot of you must not have been at the Garden for the Millrose Games this winter. It was perhaps the worst track meet I've ever attended. Very few elite running events at all, and very few of those actually "elite."
In the Gospel of Luke, the parable is as follows:
And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God? It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
– Luke 13:20-21, KJV
It takes effort to have a good meet at that level and when the people who are managing the event want to see it crash for their own personal gain the meet will crash. This was planned for the past 6-8 years and the plan was executed almost perfectly. What comes around goes around and it will go around.
