Beaver Stadium wrestling match
- Thread starter djnitt
- Start date
I would put the chances at maybe 5%. Can’t do it in the fall because it would ruin the field during football season. It’s too cold after football season.
How much damage would it cause? How about wrestling on a Sunday before a bye week or a road game the following Saturday? In other words, give the field crew two weeks before the next home football game.
Not if they put the whole mat and surrounding area on raised platform - a lot fewer contact points with the turf
And if Cael agrees to more stalling and fewer takedowns.
Ruin the field, really???
Ahh, have you ever seen a Superbowl halftime show? You put the mats on a temporary stage, and the field is back to normal hours after the event?
Unpredictable weather conditions in November for sure, and unlikely Cael wants a headliner opponent that early in the season.
I also doubt it happens as well, but the field is a complete non issue.i
Just like with hockey, there will not be a good seat in the house if they wrestle at Beaver Stadium. All seats are too far away for a hockey game. Imagine how little a mat would look on the field.
I’m pretty sure folks are pushing for a Penn State vs Okie State match which is also pretty much the only way to draw a crowd big enough to justify using Beaver Stadium. However, I don’t think Cael will be doing much of anything to help David out. Not saying he would do anything to hurt David but I don’t think there’s that close relationship that a lot of people assume.
If they ever do this it will be first Saturday in November, before a football game and will be done to take the single match attendance record from Iowa.
Since the Beav’s upper decks are in the ends rather than the sides, reasonable viewing could be had for a half full stadium if they put the mat in or near the end zone and sold tickets for that end
Why not? We have already taken their damn souls
I am OK doing it for that reason only. Otherwise it is just a publicity stunt. Do it once, luck out and have a nice day and put 70,000 in there for the match. Do it against Lehigh. Pennsylvania, wrestling truly does live here!Why not? We have already taken their damn souls
Define reasonable.
. Even the suite level at the PPL Center vs Lehigh was too far. But hell, free suite!!!Unobstructed, and within binocular range!Define reasonable.
Similar to upper seats in BJC, or even Rec Hall…
Farther from the action than the TV cameras …
Feeling the vibe/atmosphere of being there in person is what makes attending better than watching on TV!
The actual view isn’t better unless you have close to matside seats.
Considering Iowa wrestled OkieSt in Kinnick Stadium on November 14, 2015 and had a record attendance of 42,000 plus, the idea is very much feasible.
The backup plan for inclement weather was to move the event indoors, obviously with only a fraction of the tickets good if the event moved.
The first time I was at PPL Center was the 20-19 (I think) PSU victory.
Seats on the floor. Six rows from the mat, if I recall. Much better. But the free food/drink.... can't beat that.
That’s more than enough of a reason to do it. And there’s no way that either Iowa or Ok State can beat the attendance record without spending many millions on a new or upgraded stadium!
PS - I think we should schedule Rutgers.
