AJ Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 It seems like there is some confusion about Ft Wayne info... Either way, I wonder how long we will have to wait for Faulkens to release the information. Once he does, I wouldnt be surprised if there was a run on hotel rooms. Either place will be packed and will create a very fun atmosphere.. assuming you can get tickets!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the colleges are having games leading up to their playoffs too. IU, Purdue, Indiana State, Ball State, Notre Dame, Valparaiso, Butler all have basketball commitments. I am honestly surprised the GLVC is letting ISHAA entertain the thought of the Ford Center as a venue. Cricket21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because The Ford Center knows wrestling state would pull in more people than GLVC or whatever University of Evansville or University of Southern Indiana would ever pull in for 2 days. Just my thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am honestly surprised the GLVC is letting ISHAA entertain the thought of the Ford Center as a venue. The OVC is what you mean here and their tournament is in March, so it doesn't conflict. And the OVC has zero control over what events are held there anyway. The only conflict could be the hockey team or UE Basketball/MVC, and I'm sure that could be worked out easily or the Ford Center would not have entered the discussion.

But it is usually the first weekend in March, so it wouldn't be a conflict. A UE home game might be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrestling Bill Walton Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I got a good relationship with Jim Irsay, Ill go down and see if he could let the wrestling community borrow Lucas Oil for those two days. Plenty of seating. I think he likes wrestling. Ill just give him a big compliment on his Rock and Roll collection and were in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
