Question about field of honor

Post by 9 ball »

I just watched field of honor 2014 (which I thoroughly enjoyed) & it got me wondering about MCU Park, why the hell would they put an event on in a ball park that only had the home plate stand & sections off to the left & right that were only 1/4 of the way full whilst leaving 95% empty?

Instead you could have hired a building & legitimately sold it out. To me holding big events in baseball stadiums will only ever work for WWE & it looked somewhat amateurish on ROH's part.

great question. I wondered the same thing. I'm guessing w/ the strong NYC roots that ROH hoped having a unique venue might draw out more folks while maybe tapping into another genre within the sports market?? That's my best guess...

The price of the MCU Park is very low. Even with a little crowd ROH makes a lot of money.

I would guess they are "sold shows" like the GFW ones were. Venue pays for the show and is then responsible for promoting.
