  1. I’m definitely passing that along to the staff.
  2. We discussed that, but it was nixed because there was concern it could almost blind the wrestlers in certain situations. If you were on your back or in certain positions with one of those super trooper spotlights hitting your face it would be extremely uncomfortable.
  3. I completely understand that, unfortunately calls like that (or maybe fortunately) are above my pay grade.
  4. I will say on behalf of the Ford Center, we really did try and I personally worked my tail off for this one. As a wrestling fan I was pumped to see it coming to our place. I’m sorry the lighting wasn’t the greatest for the finals, it was the best we could do with what we had to work with while trying to keep that finals feel. Originally they were just gonna keep the sports lights on, but I didn’t think that felt right. Had a blast all weekend and had the best seat I’ve ever had for a wrestling finals weekend.
  5. It’s all we could do with the limited movable lighting that we have. I guess if we keep having the state finals down here we will invest in some more lights. it was either this or wrestle with all of the sports lights on, and it doesn’t quite have the same feel as lights out wrestling.
  6. It was soooo hard to not say anything about the flames and smoke. Will Indy keep it up now?
  7. La Mexicana is close and authentic, but not very big. My favorite as a downtown worker.
  8. Ice on the floor keep it chilly in here. Sorry buddy.
  9. We are finally all set up and ready for tomorrow. Super pumped.
  10. Still working on it and still not selling as of right now.
  11. Ticketmaster is working on the will call issue and I have been told that tickets will be available digitally on your phones and they are trying to fix the will-call issue. Let me add to this: I am just an ops guy here and do not work in the ticket office. I cannot fix your ticket issues as much as I would like to. I am back of house thankfully.
  12. Just a cool shot of Evv Semistate from the catwalk.
  13. Toby and I the last time he was here at the Ford. Super nice guy all of the times I Pm'd his show.
  14. Just realized this has already been shared, so delete if necessary.
  15. No professional style cameras are allowed through the doors.
  16. Hey there everyone, Mark here at the Ford Center and long time wrestling fan. I am the main point of contact between the IHSAA and the Ford Center, so on our end this is my event. Wanted to share a little info for those making the trip next weekend. Feel free to hit me up with any questions as it relates to the arena or Evansville in general. Can't wait!

  17. I do know that MD is setting up their legendary hospitality area backstage for officials and table workers. And some blackstone grills may be involved.
  18. I wish this were true, but sadly it is not. We tried...
  19. It will be set up just like semi-state, with 4 mats across.
  20. Ford Center will still host semi-state the week prior.
  21. Yep, I heard from my boss a minute ago. Finals are here at the Ford Center.
  22. Bowl temp was set at 70 degrees but it is definitely closer to 60 on the floor close to the ice. One of the drawbacks of having events in an ice hockey arena. Our PA is on bandaids right now waiting on new components that go in our processors. Been on order for months and until then if we overdrive the system sound will cut in and out. You probably noticed it several times, as I did. I have no doubt by next year the sound issue will be a thing of the past. Fyi, the Ford Center has never offered free public WiFi, but I might know a guy that does have access to some things.
  23. Quick question. How do you get a half a team point?
  24. I just wish they’d zoom out a little and not just show waist down wrestling. And anyone else have giant black boxes at bottom when in full screen?
