TNA Lockdown 2007 At The UIC Pavilion In Chicago

TNA Bound For Glory 2006 at the Compuware Arena in Michigan was the very first TNA Sunday PPV not to be held at the iMPACT Zone, and it was awesome. I loved the feeling of seeing TNA in front of an entire arena audience, not just a small studio audience. I think TNA should go to arenas more often, espically for pay per views. Guess what I think is the absolute perfect city to host the next big TNA ppv? None other then Chicago!!! Trust me, Chicago would be the perfect city for the next TNA ppv, because TNA is actually really popular over here. I even have three friends at work who all watch iMPACT weekly.

But then when you look at it, arenas like the United Center and the Allstate Arena over in Rosemont are much to large to host a TNA ppv, because TNA probably isn't popular enough (yet) to be able to fill those big arenas.

So I picked out the perfect arena in Chicago that would suit a TNA ppv: The UIC Pavilion. UIC Pavilion is a 6,958-seat multi-purpose arena, located at 1150 W Harrison St in Chicago, Illinois, which opened in 1982. It is home to the University of Illinois at Chicago Flames basketball team and the Chicago Sky WNBA team.

Also, the Pavilion has seen wrestling events before. Starrcade 1987, Chi-Town Rumble 1989, and Halloween Havoc 1990 were all held in this very arena.

But when you think about it, why wait all the way until next years Bound For Glory to hold a ppv outside of Orlando again? I mean, a whole other year of Orlando ppvs with no touring until the next BFG? I think that having the all Steel Cage TNA PPV: Lockdown in April at the Pavilion would be even better, and draw more. If well advertised, it might be able to draw over 1,000 more then BFG 2006 did!

So hear all of the Chicago fans voices, TNA! TNA Lockdown 2007 at the UIC Pavilion in Chicago, Illinois. PLEASE, I beg at the feet of Dixie Carter, Jeff Jarrett, and everyone else working for TNA, please bring Lockdown 07 to the UIC Pavilion!
