First time attending. With as many as 8 matches going at once, it's a little crazy but, you get used to it. No need to buy the higher price tickets. All the seating is general admission. I thought the concession prices were a little high.

The event itself was incredibly well organized. However, as an obvious 2 day event that all parents and athletes would be attending for up to 14 hours each day - I was offended at having to spend $4.50 for a bottle of water each time I was thirsty. I m disabled and it was not conduscive for me to go outside of the arena to go to cafe or store every time I wanted something to eat or drink. It should be taken into consideration that there are families attending this event that will be spending an extraordinary amount of time in the arena and the venue should not be price gauging those attending the event. With that said - the event itself was great. You were able to see all four mats for the division you were watching.

NYSPHSAA puts on a great wrestling tournament. The athletes were very impressive. These kids work hard for years at this sport, and it is nice to see them showcased in a good facility. It would be nice to have healthier options at the concessions.

Payed extra for premium ticket to guarantee lower bowl seating for finals, yet no one was checking tickets into this area of arena. People who purchased basic session ticket was seated next to me. I feel like I was fleeced to put it mildly.

The NYSHSAA Wrestling Championship was awesome!!! A lot of excitement all day long. The event was well run and for the most part on time. You needed a fur jacket to keep you warm when you walked to the bathroom. It was too damn cold! The food was terribly overpriced!!! Other than that a good time was had by all.

The event was well organized and ran smoothly. Considering we had to pay for parking was not happy about leaving for 2.5 hours before the finals. The food and drinks were very overpriced.

The wrestling, as always, was great. Announcing was great. The general seating was fine - But, my front row finals seats had a constant draft and smell of cigarettes. The wrestling leadership should also remove people from tables who can't keep their bout numbers updated. It is a spectator sport, we like to know who is wrestling. AND - $4.00 for a soda. Give me a break!!!

Attended all sessions and saw great competition. NJ is one a handful of states that has a unified title and this makes for an excellent event.

As always, the wrestling was great, when we could see it, seats in Row AA in section 115 were awful. We could not see action on any of the mats other than the two in front of us. These seats should come with a warning that you may miss half of the event due to all of the objects in your view or should be eliminated. Coaches, clocks, and yes even the water cooler was in the line of sight. NEVER SIT IN FRONT ROW IN THAT SECTION!

I thought the prices were steep at $11.00 per person/per match. First of all, it's high school wrestling so if you were bringing a family it would be expensive. I wasn't crazy about the fact that I couldn't pick my own seats either. It was hard to see some of the matches depending on your seats. The reason I recommend the event is because if you are looking to see some talented kids wrestle this is the place. Paying $11.00 to go to one of the events is fine if you just happen to be in Atlantic City at the time the wrestling is going on.

This is an event that everyone should experience. However, it wasn't as exciting as in the past....not a lot of "named" wrestlers returning. I purchased the premium seating for the finals but couldn't see what was going on at times because the coaches corner was in the way....next year they should be along the side of the mat where the tables were like the other team's coaches on the opposite side.

The wrestling was great, the event was well managed with very little down time between matches, the announcing was well done. Overall, the weekend wrestling was excellent. One problem that the arena has had two years in a row, is on Saturday after the early session ends. Everyone needs to exit from the arena at this time. The problem begins when the lines start to form for re-entry. Lines start forming at 3:30 in an orderly fashion. When a large number of people start to arrive, the line quickly gets out of control and people that waited on line for an hour or more quickly get overwhelmed by people that come up the escalators and are pushed into the middle of the line by the people behind them. Arguments and jockeying for position is very common. Simple crowd control techniques of using ropes to establish which direction the line would go as well as having one or two security guards shuffle people to the rear of the line would be a tremendous help in resolving this problem for next year.

This was my first experience at the Times Union Center and at State wrestling meet. Seats were good. The only complaint I had was the price of food. For a lot of the wrestlers having to be there for 2 days, thats a lot of money to spend

The wrestling championship was terrific. All the kids did their best and they were great to watch. It was a nice place to have the Championship, but the food and drinks were expensive. Should have lower prices for a high school event.
