Can Someone Please Post a Listing of Arenas

[thegreatestreferee]

I am just looking for a listing of all the arena's, stadiums, high schools, armories or whatever else different ones of the territories used. I have a good list going but I know that there are more out there. If you could list what you know of and maybe even what territory used them that would be very helpful to me, as I am trying to have a territory based federation running multiple territories. So let's say you know that JCP used the Norfolk Scope to run shows for the old Mid Atlantic and after he purchased the other territories that would help me out very much. I know there used to be a list on here but I can't seem to find it. If you all know where that list is that would help out as well.

Thanks in Advance

Jeff

I know the Sheik's Big Time Wrestling ran Cobo Hall in Detroit and the Cincinnati Gardens. JCP used the Greensboro Coliseum the Omni in Atlanta and occasionally ran the Civic Center in Philadelphia. There's more I could think of when I'm not half asleep if nobody gets to them before I do.

Switch-Truth and Todd thank you both for what you all posted. Todd I remember the thread where you had the arena's posted. You even asked the other players that if they could remember any because you knew that you had missed some to put them down in the thread and you even updated it a few times. When I went to look for it I couldn't find it anywhere. I don't know what happened to the thread or if it just got buried, but I could have sworn they made it a sticky thread so that it could be used as a resource for the players to use who like to use different arena's for their shows. Such as someone like myself, where I have NWA Jim Crockett Promotions already running the Mid-Atlantic, Florida, and Georgia Championship Wrestling. I am looking expand it to include the old Mid-South/U.W.F. territory along with possibly adding the old World Class territory as well. So something like this is very helpful as far as knowing the names of the arena's in the states that the different territories ran. Do you know what happened to that thread or is just gone and lost forever. Maybe other fellow LOW posters will be happy to help out once again and tell us all the different arena's, stadiums, high schools, armories, or wherever else they know of in different states that the promotions ran. Maybe we can even expand it a little bit more and have listed beside the city and arena the name of the promotion that also ran there. Like we would have North Carolina and under it Greensboro Coliseum and in parenthesis put the names of the promotion or promotions that rant there. Like Greensboro Coliseum (NWA Jim Crockett Promotions Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling. I don't know just a thought. Fellow players if you all know where the old list of arenas went too or maybe want to expand on what Todd has already posted and what arena's he may not have listed go ahead and add them and also if you know that what promotion ran there that would probably help alot of us out as well. Thanks

[thegreatestreferee]

Maybe we can also include on this thread the states that you know of that a certain promotion ran. To give a good for instance we know that until Jim Crockett Promotions expanded he ran Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and some parts of Georgia that Georgia Championship Wrestling wasn't running. Of course when he bought out Georgia Championship Wrestling he took over running in Georgia and Ohio. So if you all can add any arena's to the list already along with the promotions that used them and maybe the states the promotion used as well that would be helpful to myself and probably other board members as well.

[todd]

Thanks GreatestReferee I haven't kept up with this list so there's many more to add. I think adding the name of the promotion after the arena is a good idea and did a few off the top of head this morning. I'll work on more later

Iowa could use Veterans Memorial Auditorium....if it has to be "old," that is it...built next to it now it the new Iowa Events Center (aka Wells Fargo Arena). Cedar Rapids has (or had back in the day) The Five Seasons Center in Cedar Rapids, All Play Ballroom in Des Moines, Carver Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City, Stephens Auditorium in Ames, Tyson Events Center in Sioux City, UNI Dome in Cedar Falls, Val Air Ballroom in Des Moines and Westfair Ampitheatre in Council Bluffs plus the Council Bluffs Nat'l Guard Armory. Nat'l Balloon Classic Launch Field in Indianola and the Iowa State Fairgrounds!

[amazingbadger]

Wow, my home town has a sports complex. I did not know that, cool!

Anyway, you can add General Motors Centre in Oshawa, Ontario. The old Civic Auditorium was demolished in April 2010 but it hosted numerous WWE shows in it's day.
