Just a cool shot of Evv Semistate from the catwalk.

I completely understand that, unfortunately calls like that (or maybe fortunately) are above my pay grade.

markio got a reaction from Justin Ratliff in Post State Finals Accolades and Discussion
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.

I’m definitely passing that along to the staff.

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.

Dirty South did a great job ! If it wasn’t for #ticketgate2024 I’d give the event a TeamGarcia
But overall 5 Stars . Was at the my hotel reading the flyers they had and it was pretty cool to see the hospitality.

On another note every single employee of the Ford Center that I came across was very nice and helpful. Some venues that I go to such as gainbridge or Lucas Oil that is not the case. Instead of helpful they are aggressive and abrasive. It truly was a nice change of pace to be able to talk to someone that didn't act like they had better things to do than help you out. And I mean that for every single employee that I encountered.

Been to Indy and Evansville now. Overall EVV hosted it better imo. You could tell they went all out for it.

I know Evansville isn’t Indy. But all in all after day 1 I feel like Evansville/Ford Center has done a great job so far.

Based on last year at State with the bright advertising ring on as well as other lights this is definitely true.
