The Pac 12 was also responsible for the 5:00 local start time for the PSU dual due to scheduling basketball double headers for the prime time slots over the weekend. It was a hassle to have a 5:00 local start time , yet we still managed over 8,500 fans for the dual. That also took creativity, as there were several Oregon Classic qualifiers that weekend and weigh-ins were at the same time as the dual. Luckily, people stepped in and organized a satellite weigh-in for the kids at Reser Stadium so they could weigh in and then walk across the parking lot to the dual.
The LR dual was almost canceled due to more Pac12 basketball stuff, but the staff thought outside the box to make it still happen by moving it to the high school. Hopefully OSU can capitalize on the huge crowd that will already be there for the Resers Tournament of Champions.
