LoneWolf&Subs Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Isn’t a wrestling venue yet, but MLW will be taping their upcoming Miami shows this month there. I can’t wait to see what this will look like on TV. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how it feels like a big venue and a small old school venue at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidKash202 Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 Too many good pictures in this link I found this forum, supposedly the biggest forum on structures in the world. There is a thread about sporting venues with <15,000 seats. Some nice stuff in here. Arenas (<15,000) - Page 2 - SkyscraperCity https://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=782902&page=2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paintedbynumbers Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 The Scope in Norfolk, VA looks awesome. I remember watching WCW events where they always built up the Scope. Place still exists and there was a WWE house show there this summer. Put me in the crowd that hates how every single venue looks the same on Raw and Smackdown. The lighting and tron really don't add anything unique. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along similar lines, Dorton Arena in Raleigh is a beautiful looking arena. They do roller derby there too- the Gotham Girls were raving about it when they traveled down a few years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSC Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I guess if you consider the beach a venue, the actual outdoor Bash at the Beach was such an awesome visual. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While this was the first wrestling show I could simply walk to, the sightlines were fucking awful.I think I only made it 30 minutes into the PPV itself before I left.

It wasn't beautiful but had that vibe. But i'm a big PWG fan. Same here! It was even in an episode of GLOW. The new place looks REALLY nice, though. But I'll miss seeing American Legion Post 308 (or, as my wife calls it, "that place with the speakers"). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I do not enjoy the Globe due to the lighting. Way too dark especially after they'd been at The Legion for so long and it was lit up to the max. The move fits in with PWG's rough patch following the exodus to NXT.

Jiji Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Hakata Star Lane is my favourite Japanese venue outside of Korakuen. Great audiences, it's a bowling alley, neat looking roof, and it's a bowling alley. KBS Hall is also beautiful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the appearance it looks like an orthodox church, am I right? St. George Greek Orthodox Church (where I was baptized) in Piscataway, NJ needs wrestling during their 4 day festival in May.

olythegreat89 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 It's St. Bridget's Catholic Church in Jersey City, NJ. It's now called Cathedral Hall and they have lots of different events there. They've also renovated parts of the church and turned them into condos. Well they've pretty much turned everything in downtown JC into condos but that's a conversation for another day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
