Lockdown



Right on the heels of us being awarded the 2009 MLB All-Star game, now this:

"Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling announced today that “Lockdown 2007” will be held live at the Family Arena in St. Louis on April 15, airing exclusively on pay-per-view. TNA President Dixie Carter made the announcement tonight live on “The Stranglehold” radio show (KFNS 590 AM) in St. Louis. She also confirmed that the April weekend in St. Louis also will include an all-access chance to meet the stars of TNA at “TNA Fan Interaction," which puts the stars of TNA up close and personal with the fans for a once in a lifetime meet-and-greet opportunity.

"Lockdown" is unlike any other wrestling pay-per-view in that every match takes place inside TNA's infamous Six Sides of Steel, promising some of the most unforgettable moments of the year. The announcement comes on the heels of St. Louis Cardinals shortstop and World Series MVP David Eckstein announcing that “Team Eckstein” would battle "Team Pierzynski," led by Chicago White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski, on Feb. 11, at the “Against All Odds” pay-per-view in Orlando. Tickets for “Lockdown” will go on sale at 10 a.m. CT, Friday, February 16, at the Family Arena Box Office (2002 Arena Parkway, St. Charles, MO 63303), all Metrotix outlets, online at Metrotix.com or by calling (314) 534-1111.Several TNA stars will be in St. Louis for the on-sale event. Full details about the Feb. 16 autograph session will be available at www.TNAWrestling.com."

And with this, we have regained our status as the number one sports city in the nation.
