But I think they should try and make a fight happen at Penn State. Penn State has a 16,000 seat area (Bryce Jordan Center) and is in the middle of the state. This gives some major possibilities for both Philly and Pitt residents being about to see a fantastic UFC event in addition to over 40,000 students on campus. BRING THE UFC TO PSU!!

That would be crazy, I would pay the ppv just to see the crowd! They would probably have more fights in the stands than in the octagon. They better not let Herb Dean ref. IF he stops a fight in philly like he did in the 1st Tito/Shamrock match they will drag him out of the Spectrum or wherever they are fighting and beat his ass! A fight in Philly?

The seats will be filled with drunks, which is the same as in many other cities except they are Philly drunks with a reputaton to uphold. Like I said, bad idea for now. Wait about 2-3 years. There are a lot of myths about Philly sports fans, good and bad, that get circulated. The fans are not always so great, in more ways than one.

It would be absolutely insane UFC hasn't seen anything yet until they feel the intensity from the city of brotherly love.....

I'm not far away and having spent my college years in Philly I know all the best watering holes. Luppers: you, Chip and I can blow the froth off a couple of cold ones and then catch the Philly PPV.

I hope the UFC is planning on approaching international territories like Japan, Hong Kong and Dubai. UFC in in great cities like New York and Chicago would be a great for the organization.

I don't know if they tailgate at other UFC events (going to ohio this weekend so i guess i'll find out) but the tailgate party for UFC would be SICKKK!!! I can't believe the petition had 950 people, i could have got that myself, i didn't even know about this thing. I work like ten minutes from the WACH, damn i'm pumped The rediculous amount of drinking and debauchery that would happen at a Philly UFC Show would be insane.

We need a few years of small shows before we attempt a UFC. If you think the Vegas crowds are bad, wait until you see Philly. I have said elsewhere, Philly is not ready for a UFC event.

I couldn't imagine how loud it would get in there. Considering I have been to a Flyers playoff game and you couldn't hear yourself think in that building. Just an FYI the capacity for a basketball game there is about 21,600. That would be awesome having an event at the wachovia center. I couldn’t imagine how loud it would get in there.
