Boot Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Biggest attendance - Merrillville Biggest arena would have to be either New Castle or the Colliseum in Fort Wayne, right? New Castle is one of the biggest gyms in the nation, last I knew anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Peck Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Personally, I am glad Merrillville is able to keep the Semi-State because it means that we have a good chance of never being mentioned as the worst venue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripleB Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 FW Memorial Coliseum Floor seating and an elevated Mat looks awesome, but you guys are going to be there for 3 days to get all the wrestling in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justadadnow Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 NC is the the largest HIGH SCHOOL GYM (9300 plus). Not quite as big as other Coliseums tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ENoblewrestling Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 The attendencs at last years semi-states were as follows Evansville ? 8,562 Merrillville ? 5,990 New Castle ? 7,171 Fort Wayne ? 8,111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCboiler Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 The attendencs at last years semi-states were as follows Evansville ? 8,562 Merrillville ? 5,990 New Castle ? 7,171 Fort Wayne ? 8,111 And Mater Dei amounts to about half of the 8,562 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo Brigade Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 New Castle is set up so that it's impossible not to have a great view of all four mats. Plus, unlike the mandatory balcony seating at some venues, you can get really close to the mat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it seems like more when you're shoulder to shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAGUOC79 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 NC best hands down. Because any seat is the best seat and it can get pretty loud in the ol' fieldhouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad hungarian Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 honestly, m'ville probably isn't as high in attendance as it could be. how many people have no desire to fight that madhouse and simply don't go???? i would guess their attendance could double if they moved it to a fan-friendly arena. apparently, the who-s who's in the region hold some kind of power of the ihsaa...not to mention the fire marshalls of the state of indiana.

SSBeatReporter Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 The Coliseum is by far the biggest venue. It would be interesting to see capacity percentages though(attandance/capacity). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
