Freedom Hall

And that is where, uh, the Louisville...

Is it Cardinal Stadium is? That's where like the, the Freedom Hall is, which is the, uh, the big basketball stadium.

That's the big fairgrounds where the, um, obviously Equip Expo is.

And by the way, [clears throat] even there, there's still like potentially like tandem events going on.

I, I...

It makes no sense, [laughs] but that's gonna be point number one as we continue to go through this conversation, is get a freaking map because people are like, "Oh, I'm at like, you know, booth 4003." You're like, "4003, okay." And then you...

Like, "I'm in the west wing." And next thing you know, you're in the Louisville Cardinal, uh, Freedom Hall center, whatever the hell the thing is, and you're like...

You look up at the signs and it's like 26,000 series numbers and booths.

We spoke last week.

Twisted Redemption, Louisville, Kentucky, October 10th, Freedom Hall, Twisted Metal Motorsports.

We kind of hit on the list just a little bit, but these things, boys and girls, if you can't make it to this show, you can watch it.

on Throwdown TV.

Uh, I believe we've got a Ryan Freeman and a Luke West that's on that list.

So I promise you guys this, this summit is going to get rowdy.

Um, Tickets can be bought right at the Freedom Hall box office.

You do not have to pre-purchase anything.

Okay.

Well, they were at Freedom Hall then, because the Yum Center wasn't a thing then.

I know [laughs] I think I know exactly where he walked into and got the pissy handshake.

Uh, but that was one of the, when, uh, WWE, uh, F at, at that time, shows were doing big in Louisville and Lexington for that few year period there.

And it's like when you're playing a team like Syracuse or anybody for that matter on the road, you know, we always press upon to our team, like, this isn't gonna change in any situation.

Like, it might feel a little different if it's, you know, down at Freedom Hall in a regional or if it's, you know, at the Yum Center, if it's in San Antonio in a Final Four, but all these things are gonna be the same, so you gotta be able to travel and serve aggressively and do these, you know, quote, unquote, "closed skills," uh, at a high level no matter what the situation is, no matter what the opponent is because you're in complete control of it.

So it was...

I, I thought we had a really good start to ACC play with that.

Hopefully go, you know, well into, uh, December with, uh, with our season and with our shows.

But today an announcement that became public, and, and I know you're excited about it, and I think it's a really cool thing that Louisville Volleyball has been selected to be one of eight teams who will participate in the inaugural AVCA Match Point event during the upcoming spring season.

It'll take place over two days, April 10th and the 11th in 2027, will be at Freedom Hall, and it will be Louisville, Kentucky, Nebraska, Stanford, uh, Pittsburgh, and Wisconsin.

Two additional programs will be announced at a later date.

Mm-hmm.

Freedom Hall, Twisted Redemption, two-man team show.

No heats.

It's one day.

And one thing that I like about it, which we have talked in the past why...

That show was so killer.

That Freedom Hall deal, you know, what was it, 2018, 2019? We had the guys that were nosing it up at the end.

They both flipped over.

They'd come up from Alabama and do Thursday, Friday, Saturday up here every other week.

But you could go on Thursday and see Continental at the Rec Center, And then you could see Crockett once a month at Freedom Hall.

So we had the best of both worlds here, plus Memphis TV was on here.

So it was a great time to be a wrestling fan in East Tennessee.

And you really need to pay attention this week as well because one thing that Steven, he might know now, we have two free tickets for Twisted Redemption.

Second weekend of October in Louisville, Kentucky, Freedom Hall, Twisted Metal Motorsports.

I'm telling

you, you will not regret going there.
