Double header at Yankee Stadium!!!

[obrats]

Not going to lie this is going to be AWESOME. I was excited to see us wrestle Princeton on the Rutgers football field but I am way more excited to watch us wrestle a BIG opponent at Yankee Stadium on my 49th Birthday (Nov 4th 2017). http://www.scarletknights.com/sports/m-wrestl/spec-rel/091316aaa.html

"Never before has a doubleheader such as this taken place at a venue so iconic," said Director of Athletics Patrick Hobbs. "We are thrilled to provide our fans this one-of-a-kind experience while enhancing the Big Ten brand in the world's media capital. This is certain to be a very special day. We are thankful to the New York Yankees, the Big Ten Conference and the University of Maryland for helping to make it possible."

Great exposure for the program, but am not a fan of the site

I must be in the minority, but I'd rather have these matches on campus. Getting to and from YS is not a joy.
I will not be attending.

I think once ever year or two is pretty cool. But I live in DC so it doesn't really affect me either way.

I'm sure it will be on BTN or BTN plus and get a lot of publicity. I'm just not sure what kind of turnout to expect. Maryland isn't a big drawer, and how many folks will want to be trapped insided of Yankee Stadium for 7 hours?
