It's still 2009. The 2010 NCAA championships are still three months away... but the hosts of the 2011 championships are already getting the word out about their event.
In a press release issued Thursday, the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) announced that all-session passes for the 2011 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia will go on sale Thursday, March 18, 2010. The championships are scheduled for March 17-19, 2011.
Lower bowl all-session tickets, which cover all six sessions, will be priced at $165. Tickets in the center sections of the upper bowl will be available for $150, while upper bowl end zone seats will sell for $135. Tickets can be purchased at the Wachovia Center box office, online at www.comcasttix.com, or by phone at 866/298-4200.
The Wachovia Center's seating capacity for wrestling is 17,366. The NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships' three-day, six-session attendance record is 97,336, set in St. Louis in 2009.
NOTE: The current wrestling season for Division I wrestlers will culminate at the 2010 NCAAs, to be held at Qwest Center in Omaha, Nebraska... an entire year before wrestlers, coaches and fans descend on Philadelphia.
