The curtain is gone and other wrestling info

The link worked for me this time... interesting (and much needed) changes coming.
Love that the curtain will be gone, I hated that thing!
Thought the "Concession discounts" is an interesting benefit with the season ticket package. I don't buy season tickets as I just use the G.A. tickets that come with our Cyclone Club donation, but it's still a good idea.
It's also good they will be opening Johnny's up (and at a reasonable price compared to basketball), they should use that thing as much as they can! Although I find it odd to close it after intermission.

Am I the only one slightly concerned about removing the curtain? The rationale for using it makes perfect sense to me. I can only imagine how empty and quiet that place will be for some matches if the attendance isn't much better than the last few years.
I expect an increase in attendance early in the year, but just hope it's still there for those late season matches if the team isn't doing too well.

In the matches I've attended, it's been "empty and quiet" even with the curtain...
Right, that's what I'm saying. So now, double the size of the arena, but have the same amount of fans. It will be bad.
I agree with this. You only want to get rid of the curtain if you already know that it won't be needed. If ticket sales haven't gone up tremendously, then it's going to look really pathetic in there. Will they put tarps over the entire balcony then or what?
I think it might take a year of improved results before the curtain can come down.
The curtain just looks tacky - for wrestling and volleyball IMO. It looks as if there's construction or something on the other side, away from view.
Speaking of tacky, having taped lines on a basketball court for volleyball is tacky too, for a Big 12 program. It's something out of high school.

I've always been okay with the curtain. Sure, I would like 15,000 fans. If we have 5,000 or less, it makes sense to use the curtain.
Is it tacky for a non-Big 12 perennial national power? Asking on behalf of Stanford.

But as far as what was laid out I am on the boat with others who have concerns about the curtain being taken down. Hopefully we can get some more fans to show up where that will be put to rest. Love the idea of Johnnys!!
