Suggestions for The Big Ten meet....

Musky Hunter · January 12, 2014, 06:33:00 PM

Season ticket holder for hoops and football. Getting into this wresting thing. Love how hard these kids work. I want to get 6 tickets for the meet. Suggestions on where to sit and best place to purchase them. Thanks for all the help you guys have given me this year on learning this sport.

Thank you. Just don't know how the wrestling thing worked at the Kohl Center. Like to be in section 122.

The way I understand it is, right now you don't pick your seats. You buy tickets but they haven't been assigned yet. They will be assigned some time this month I think. They are assigned in groups by team affiliation, i.e. when I bought mine, I said I want to be with the UW section. Of course, I am hoping that we get the best seats but this way all the Badger fans will be together, Iowa together, etc. Once this process is complete, then they will sell individual tickets. I have never been to a Big Ten championship but I would suspect you won't be able to get section 122 after all these other sales, that's just my personal opinion but I think the 1st level might be hard to come by. I am sure there are folks on here that can say how full they expect it to be.

Does anybody know the times of the sessions on the Saturday and Sunday? I've looked around, but I couldn't find any information on it. The B1G conference site doesn't have it, and the uwbadgers.com site didn't have session times.

Thanks in advance for helping out.

Not helpful but this is what my ticket receipt says

"MAR 08 2014 to MAR 09 2014 from TBA to TBA"

Any idea how long the break is between sessions on Saturday?

Musky you will LOVE attending the B10 wrestling championships! Such an awesome time.

"They are assigned in groups by team affiliation, i.e. when I bought mine, I said I want to be with the UW section."

Kohl seats about the same as Assembly hall where last years B10's were held. Five of us could move around and sit where ever we wanted up until the semi's.
The team affiliation seating makes for a fun atmosphere. You'll have certain schools cheering for matches just because of team score. Usually by the quarter finals everyone cheers against Iowa.
The Hawkeye fans travel well....

*Last year the weather was awesome in Illinois. Early March in Madison....not as confident.

Seats in the UW section will be given out just like they are for football and basketball for season ticket holders. The more priority points you have the better the seats you will get.

I would hope that because you have season tickets to football and basketball you will get lower level seats. They should give all badger fans lower level seats but that is not usually the way it goes with team seating.

I know there is a lot of wrestling to do but where do you see the Badgers seeded:
Here are my thoughts right now, could change a lot yet.
(where I think they can finish if they wrestle better then expected with the home town crowd)
125 5th (5th)
133 3rd (2nd)
141 6th (5th)
149 8th (5th)
157 5th (3rd)
165 7th (6th)
174 6th (3rd)
184 6th (4th)
197 9th (7th)
hwy 6th (4th)
We need some guys to wrestle up and have the crowd help them to get the team in the top 5.

My suggestion for the Big Ten tournament -

Let's wrestle our best matches of the season !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

billymurphy · January 23, 2014, 09:27:12 PM

Here is what some guy said:
If the Big 10 tournament were to happen tomorrow, this is how I think the seeding would look. Naturally, McCall's win against Ohio State was huge at 197, but he will have to keep winning if he wants to keep his high potential seed.
