Upgrade the atmosphere

build a 3000 seat arena for wrestling, volleyball and women’s basketball. Getting 2000 to 3000 people in that type of arena world make a big difference in the atmosphere. If they anticipate > than 3000 they can always use the Cassell. That’s what Penn St does at a bigger level. They filled their 7000 seat arena when we wrestled there and then they fill their 15000 seat arena when Iowa and OSU come. UNC does the same thing for wrestling, volleyball and women’s basketball.

Can we do anything to increase match attendance?? -- wasris 06/06/2018 09:33AM

Since we are a wrestling school now...maybe we can schedule our football -- Palmetto Hokie 06/07/2018 9:45PM

Yes. Cheerleader v High Techs wrestling match. -- 48zip 06/06/2018 2:27PM

I could get behind this idea...:) ** -- VPIGUY 06/06/2018 2:38PM

And i would really love to have a donations bucket or something -- hokietom87 06/06/2018 12:53PM

Great idea! I'd gladly throw in a Franklin or two each time ** -- Palmetto Hokie 06/06/2018 1:40PM

High schools rarely wrestle duals. Most events are tris, quads or some -- Wilmington Hokie 06/06/2018 12:31PM

Pre match local HS/Youth dual ** -- wrestlingfan 06/06/2018 11:44AM

Another idea to increase attendance -- mdm 06/06/2018 11:01AM

Or before/after men's basketball ** -- Pylons 06/06/2018 1:43PM

OSU wrestled Iowa ON the football field before a game a couple years ago ** -- Wilmington Hokie 06/06/2018 12:25PM

Hmmm....I've seen that idea somewhere ** -- Palmetto Hokie 06/06/2018 12:12PM

Lightyears ago when I was in DIII school, match preceded BBall game!! ** -- wasris 06/06/2018 11:23AM

Agreed. I live 4+ hours away and won't drive all the way to BBurg for one -- VPIGUY 06/06/2018 11:10AM

I think another thing that would help is effective scheduling... -- Palmetto Hokie 06/06/2018 10:21AM

Last years Cburg vs Indy high school dual was a big success... -- Hillcrest Hokie 06/06/2018 10:13AM

Great idea as well ** -- Palmetto Hokie 06/06/2018 10:24AM

Increase attendance. -- mdm 06/06/2018 09:46AM

Maybe do a "Men of VT Wrestling" calendar, and market it to women? -- EDGEMAN 06/06/2018 09:53AM

Getting the students to attend is the real answer here. -- ElbertoHokie 06/06/2018 09:44AM

Gimmicks and Givaways -- vtdadingf 06/06/2018 09:59AM

Upgrade the atmosphere -- catovahokie 06/06/2018 11:33AM

Penn State and UNC already had those smaller arenas though -- Pylons 06/06/2018 1:42PM

During the Blue Jackets series.....the Caps weren't filling the arena ** -- HokieLifer2 06/06/2018 10:55AM
