Which venue do you prefer Market Square Arena or Conseco Field House?  My vote has to go with Market Square.

Some of you ol' grey beards might remember Southport. That place will always bring back great memories.

If we are talking about memories then throw in New Castle because everyone will remember the year State Finals were held there.

Market Square Arena...

Man I had some good times there...From the floor during the Parade of Champions, that's a view I will never forget...

Since I have never been to the other facilities for wrestling finals, I have to go with Conseco.
It is during the most trying times that you find out the most about what you are made of.

I always loved Market Square. Easy to get cheap food, better seating in my opinion too.
The sight I adore
Upon the gym floor
Are wrestling mats
Door to door.

Market  Square was the best. Conseco isn't too bad.

Let me preface this post with the obvious...the state of Indiana was/is blessed to have either location.

With that said, I have to go with Market Square. #1 reason would be the finals under the lights. Market Square turned off all the lights except for "the One". Conseco just doesn't have the same atmosphere in the championship round. Just my two cents...

It was nice watching all of the matches up in the "Market Square Gardens" where you could have a cold beverage of your choice!!!

Three things that made Market Square a much better venue:   1. They allowed pass outs to come and go freely.  (This was pre 9-11 security)  2. On saturday when they cleared everyone out between rounds, they would let you save your seat so you didn't have to go through that rat race to get a good seat which I hate. 3. Organ music was fantastic.  Just my opinion.
