Dark Energy Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I’m going to vent. Parking situation was freaking piss poor. Long long lines of cars barely moving. 45 minutes of slow car moving to get into a parking lot. In venue, can not see scores on two mats. Sitting in a ‘corner’ of the arena. Can see scores for nearest two mats but far mats have boars arrayed so as not to be able to see them. At KC for NCAAs, digital banner around arena showed who was wrestling on which mat … and the score. Digital banner here just tells us we are at the trials.

Dogbone Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Surprised. The arena looks about half full on TV. Maybe they are still trickling in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Energy Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 It is about half full. Crazy. Maybe session 2 in evening will be more full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3 for LU Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Hmmm... how shall we look at this? An arena half empty... or half full? D3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so mad about them not having scores and mat assignments on the big screen. At least they got that fixed now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Energy Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 Better than not having info on the semi big screen. But their use of the space on the screen stinks. Too much white / dead space. Could have increased fonts by a lot using a better layout. I’m kinda nit picking and whining. I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Energy Posted April 20 Author Share Posted April 20 Final session. Can’t see score boards … angled so that I see from side .. their edges. Big screen showing match —- started with scores on bottom but now on bottom of match is a banner saying US Olympic Trials. Ummm, we all know what this is. SHOW THE FREAKING SCORE UP THERE!!! Fundamentally PISS POOR thinking on the setup here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Energy Posted April 20 Author Share Posted April 20 Ok. Now showing score in small font, top left. Like on TV. Was super big at bottom to start. Small improvement I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D3 This is essentially a nlwc home dual. Like 83% of the finalists are nlwc. How can they not sell out their own arena? finals now even have a lot of empty seats.
