Re: WWC Regional this Saturday @ Frost

tournament is next week
D 2 tourney is this weekend...and the hotels wouldve been very scarced...as they are already for next weekend...if both were at the same time

the quest center will be great..not a bad seat there

Re: WWC Regional this Saturday @ Frost

If it was just the DI tourney in Omaha this weekend, it would be a piece of cake -- Qwest has hosted an NCAA men's bb regional, the NCAA volleyball Final Four, Olympic swim trials, etc. But in addition to the DI wrestling tourney, that other little college in Omaha no longer to be mentioned by name on this board, is hosting the DII national wrestling tourney. I'd guess hotel rooms could be scarce.

Re: WWC Regional this Saturday @ Frost

the local draw does not have that much to do with it either
there are over 13k at each session...some do not make it to all sessions

IA, Ok St, MN and ISU bring huge crowds..huge...and they are loud

you need a place big enough for 18k...semi's and finals are always packed...need hotels and bars/resturants right by the venue..when it was in Detroit a few years ago it was a wreck because of this and will never be back there again

i am a little worried about Omaha as well here...but a lot of improvements have been done in the downtown area to help this cause out

to us wrestling fans this is the super bowl...non stop action...plenty of socializing and great wrestling...i you have never been before it is hard to explain...my favorite week every year!

congrats soro once again....i know he is ready to make some noise

Re: WWC Regional this Saturday @ Frost

I'm not disputing what he says, just surprised by it.

Re: WWC Regional this Saturday @ Frost

congrats to Soro...looked to be wrestling his best at the right time of the year

on the topic of SF hosting D1 championships....NO NO NO

need a place to hold at least 18 to 20k with hotels and resturants/bars close by...while it is close to heartland for wrestling...SF is hard to get too (not enough flights coming in and out) and isnt big enough

it has been in St louis a lot lately, and could be a possibe fixutre there moving forward

Re: WWC Regional this Saturday @ Frost

When I talked to Sorenson after he won he said it is a different atmosphere, because there are at least 11K there and he was done early last year, I don't even want to know what it would be like for the finals.

Depends on the local draw. Those traveling would be there already or leave early.

Re: WWC Regional this Saturday @ Frost

18-20k? Really? I would've thought seating would not be a problem (which is to say, I would've considered hosting the event five/ten years after the events center gets built, with the SF Metro being well over 300k by then, with potentially another thousand or more hotel rooms; one or two additional four star hotels, and cheaper travel costs).

Re: WWC Regional this Saturday @ Frost

Congrats to Tyler and his family. They are a great family (Oran & Dawn are great people) and he has worked really hard to earn this. Best of luck in Omaha - hoping he can make some noise and make ALL of SD proud with his performance! Go Tyler - Go Jacks!!!

Utterly off topic, but since the event's over....

I wonder if Sioux Falls could host the NCAA wrestling championship in a new events center.... After all, this is the -heart- of wrestling country....

Re: WWC Regional this Saturday @ Frost

Sorenson wins by tech. fall in the final, Michaud wins third and in the true 2nd, he wins 2-1 (I think). Kelly lost in the third place match and got fourth.

Congrats to Tyler. Great job.

Re: WWC Regional this Saturday @ Frost

Here are the results so far. I like this Kelly kid, he got beat by the one seed as an 8 seed, but it was close 2-1. Anyhoo, he is working his way back around in wrestlebacks and is doing well. Michaud is also working his way through wrestlebacks and seems to be doing pretty well. Tyler is still in it as of this update, but that is about it.
Pickrel 4th
Walraven 4th
Sorenson still in championships
Michaud is in wrestlebacks
Kelly in Wrestlebacks
