2027 St Louis Enterprise Center
2028 Minnesota US Bank Stadium

Minnesota in March, at a football stadium. Even Mother Nature didn’t want that noise in 2020.

What do you say we park it in Raleigh, NY, and PHL for 7 out of the next 8 years. That makes more f'ing sense than what has been going on forever.

THERE ARE 37 D1 WRESTLING PROGRAMS ON THE EAST COAST.

The entire rest of the country - 37. The states with the most D1 programs - Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia and New York. I don't see 1 friggin' Midwest state in that group.

Because the location of the schools does not mean ANYTHING to the NCAA, neither does what is best for the fans. The NCAA cares about one thing and one thing only, MONEY. Whichever city guarantees the most money to the NCAA gets the bid. Why do you and everyone else for that matter, NOT GET THAT?

I can't believe that this is entirely true. Sure the NCAA is money-grubbing. But if it went to whatever city guarantees the most money, it would be held in the same city every year. It isn't. It rotates.

All well-earned cynicism aside, this isn't true. I've run large-dollar competitions (one over $500M). Money is obviously a factor. It's not the only factor. Well, unless you don't mind getting investigated by an ambitious DA or AG, or getting sued by a losing applicant.

The most likely reason is woefully obsolete RFP selection criteria, based upon (among other things) fan attendance 30 years ago and not updated since because bureacracy.

Either that, or planes do not depart the midwest on Wednesdays and do not return on Sundays.

That point would never fly in gia lmfao
 
even with all 8 mats raised on a platform - I just don't feel the viewing experience will be ideal for anyone beyond 10-15 rows of the field ... I sat 10 rows off the field at Beaver Stadium for 20 years and those guys are all the size of heavyweight wrestlers and they were hard to see across the field 30 yards away?!

I'll be watching from a cigar bar sippin on a Blanton with a couple of Jaime's or My Father's for 3 days straight

Basch re-shared this yesterday I tend to agree. Even first row (stadium) seats are gonna be very far away from most of the action.

 
Yeah.. the Minneapolis one is a no go for me.. Even if they do everythig right, there is simply no way to make viewing a match at the other end of the stadium decent for anyone not on the 50 yard line..

Honestly B1Gs is every bit as good as nationals for a fraction of the cost.. As good as the conference is you see nearly as many awesome match ups as you do at nationals and the % of matches that have a PSU guy going is greater.. smaller more intimate venue.. I really like that tourney..

Pretty sure uncased binoculars are allowed at all NCAA sports venues. I've used them many times (e.g. Rec Hall, BJC, Beaver Stadium, Enterprise Center, MSG, and PPG Paints Arena).

Just don't bring a case!

Still, with binoculars you want a seat where your line of sight to any mat doesn't pass through an aisle. Else, you will end up seeing out of focus people constantly walking by, and could end up with quite a headache. Unfortunately, it may be difficult to figure out ahead of time whether one's seat will be problematic in this regard.
