I always wonder what normal people think when you say that your going to a wrestling match. I know they don't find it exciting but i think they are misinformed. Sure most High School teams wrestle in there cafeteria and have no fans, however when you get to a higher skill level or even just a better school team it is something quite amazing to see.
First off, it is one of the most exciting things that your can attend. When you feel the emotion running through the teams and the crowd you get energized and, especially if your new to the sport, and i feel it brings a new attraction and you get sucked into the sport. A lot of this has to do with the arena.
In my school we wrestled in the gym and had a full crowd cheering at the top of there lungs for you. it is a great experience to feel when you know that all your fans are behind you. Most colleges that are serious about the sport of wrestling have special stadiums for just wrestling matches. My favorite is "The Pit" at Oklahoma State. It is a pitch black stadium sort of like madison square garden but like a square and much more steep. the sections are not separated either. The only light is at the bottom on the mat all the way down. that is why this arena has became known as the pit.
This is a great arena and i would one day like to go there. i suggest going if you can even if you are not a fan.
