Biggest GYMs in SEO and would you pay 25 for all day convo pass

Post by BigBoneJerome »

After yesterday would you be willing to pay 25 for an all day convo pass 5 games on a Saturday? I sure miss it.

Who has the biggest gyms in SEO? No room at southeastern

Seating wise it doesn’t get bigger than Waverly. Wellston wasn’t packed packed but the parking was awful.

Waverly and its community have done an amazing job of maintaining and upgrading a facility that I believe will be 50 years old next season. There is adequate parking. The only draw back is the cozy mezzanine.

As to capacity, it was claimed to hold 3,200 when opened, but I would say realistically 2,600 is max after the renovations. A great venue for high school tournaments and the school does a great job as hosts.

Maybe @smurray or other Tiger insiders have a valid seating capacity number.

Bottom line is there is no HS gym in SEO equipped to do it all. All have flaws, from parking, to seating, to difficulty clearing gym, to lack of locker rooms, etc. The Convo is by far the best option, hope they are willing to host going forward.

Hopefully things return to normal next year and all the district games are back at Basketball 30.

Best gyms are Logan, Jackson, and Wellston.

Districts
D2 Logan
D3 Jackson
D4 Wellston

I’m guessing Athens will get a gym like Logan with the new school

Belpre gym is like one of them old school gyms from a school built in the 30’s. About 2 ft of room to inbound the ball under the baskets. Benches on the line. Bleachers on one side stage on the other.

Can’t beat the seating capacity (and both sides equal) and parking at Waverly. Very large amount of parking close to the arena.

Piketon was good inside. The parking area And getting out of town with district games would be a nightmare though. It took like 20 minutes to get from Wellston high to 32 last night. And that was after the 20 minute wait to get out of the lot

I would say Waverly, Jackson and Logan in that order.

Southeastern is always one of my favorites.
Waverly is nice as well. Nothing is as good as the Convo. 🤔

Convo is willing, the only thing this year was the logistics. OHIO University is hosting the MAC Wrestling tournament as well as their own practices and events and was not available. That’s just how things worked this year.

Jackson and Logan would not host this year maybe you could youse your SEOP cred and see if they would change their mind?
