Cricket21 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I am surprised Bally's Sports Network isn't pushing for this event to be held in Evansville, since our casino is owned by Bally's as well. Just my two cents. MUSKEEWRESTLER 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There goes 3,000 people that will not be able to attend!!! Ticketmasters' stock will take a big hit with all the money they will lose on ticket Fees!!!!

Not sure what the situation is like at the Ford Center, but the Coliseum would not be good for being able to walk to restaurants and hotels.

TripleB Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 The real question is after it's held at the Ford Center, does the IHSAA ever move it back? As my kids say "It'll be bussin'" Cricket21, navy80, IU89 and 3 others 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGCATSontheMAT Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Would be awesome as an MD fan. Go from not traveling at all with sectional, regionals and semi state all in Evansville.

Ahawkeye Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I don't think fans will be disappointed with the Ford Center. Plenty of restaurants to try, all good seating I can't speak for hotels but we have plenty. MD/Reitz/Central/Evansville North and the rest of us down here would make awesome hosts. I and others can give you plenty of info on good places to eat, I really do think the venue is perfect. IU89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
