ST. LOUIS - Oct. 30, 2003 - After setting an all-time total attendance record when it hosted its first NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships, St. Louis looks to raise the bar and establish a new mark in 2004. With less than 1,000 tickets remaining, the 2004 Championships are nearing a sellout, and St. Louis is well on its way to shattering the tournament's total attendance record of 96,994 set at Savvis Center in March 2000. Fans hoping to beat the final rush on tickets can obtain an official ticket application by calling 877-722-1604 or by downloading an online version at www.stlouissports.org/wrestling. Tickets are sold in three-day, six-session packages only and cost $110. Applications will be processed in order of date received. Additional ticket instructions and policies appear on the ticket application. The 74th NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships take place March 18-20 at Savvis Center in downtown St. Louis. The University of Missouri and the St. Louis Sports Commission serve as the tournament's hosts. This marks the second time St. Louis and Savvis Center will host the event. With the Championships returning to Savvis Center in 2005, St. Louis becomes the first city to host the tournament in back-to-back years. HOW SUITE IT IS...
