The NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships in St. Louis March 17-19 brought in more than 95,000 attendees, beating expectations, the St. Louis Sports Commission said.
The 94,459 attendees was the second highest total attendance in the 75 years the tournament has been held, placing only behind the event held in St. Louis in 2000, which had 96,994 attendees. St. Louis also ranked No. 5 in total all-time attendance for 87,676 attendees at the 2004 championships.
The three-day championships were expected to bring in 15,000 visitors and generate $10 million into the local economy. The commission expected about 90,000 attendees for the three-day event.
