There have been a lot of talk recently, at least of PSU student journalists, about PSU wrestling moving to the BJC full-time.
Personally I hate the idea and hate that the proposal is coming from non-wrestling fans who likely either don’t attend duals at all or only once a year for Iowa/OSU/UM.
I also just think Rec is a fantastic wrestling environment and the BJC would be largely empty for half the B1G schedule and most non-con duals.
With that said, I also acknowledge that Rec is old and has its flaws. Should PSU have to or opt to move I would hope the choice is to build a standalone facility under 10K.
The best wrestling environments are smaller, hot, and the fans are on top of you.
What I want to know is what you guys all think? I am aware I am an old soul and nostalgic. But it’s hard for me to buy that the BJC is truly a better environment when I think about the huge moments in Rec the last 10 years compared to those in the BJC.
