TNA issued the following press release this evening:

TNA WRESTLING INVADES ST. LOUIS FOR MAJOR APRIL PAY-PER-VIEW

(January 23, 2007) - Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling has announced that "Lockdown 2007" will be held live at the Family Arena in St. Louis on April 15, airing exclusively on Pay-Per-View.

TNA President Dixie Carter made the announcement on Tuesday night on "The Stranglehold" radio show (KFNS 590 AM) in St. Louis. She also confirmed that the April weekend in St. Louis also will include an all-access chance to meet the stars of TNA at "TNA Fan Interaction" which puts the stars of TNA up close and personal with the fans for a once in a lifetime meet-and-greet
opportunity.

"Lockdown" is unlike any other wrestling Pay-Per-View in that every match takes place inside TNA's infamous Six Sides of Steel, promising some of the most unforgettable moments of the year.

The announcement comes on the heels of St. Louis Cardinals shortstop and World Series MVP David Eckstein announcing that "Team Eckstein" would battle "Team Pierzynski" led by Chicago White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski, on Feb. 11, at the "Against All Odds" Pay-Per-View in Orlando.

Tickets for "Lockdown" will go on sale at 10 a.m. CT, Friday, February 16, at the Family Arena Box Office (2002 Arena Parkway, St. Charles, MO 63303), all Metrotix outlets, online at Metrotix.com or by calling [phone].

Several TNA stars will be in St. Louis for the on-sale event. Full details about the Feb. 16 autograph session will be available at www.TNAwrestling.com

This means that they'll completely ignore the March PPV and only focus on hyping the April one right? Cuz that's what they did the last time they did a PPV that wasn't at the Impact Zone

I did too. Thank God they are getting out of the Impact Zone. It may just be the second time but, slowly but, surely they will leave that hole behind.

I thought No Surrender was fine.

oh, wait. You meant commercial-wise. Nevermind,then.

I dare TNA to book another 15 minute Voodoo Kin Mafia segment in St. Louis.

[Can you afford to pay me, Gah]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! Family Arena in St. Louis. I am so going to that. April 15th. Mark it. This is awesome news for me.

From wiki

Family Arena seats 9,643 for hockey, 9,755 for football, 10,467 for basketball, 6,339 for half-house concerts and up to 11,522 for end-stage concerts. In addition to sporting events, concerts, circuses and ice shows the arena is also used for trade shows with a total of 39,900 square feet of exhibit space (17,900 square feet on the arena floor and 22,000 square feet on the arena concourse).

Damn, that's a huge step if they use the whole arena.

[Can you afford to pay me, Gah]

Yea it is big. My High School Gratuation was in that building. So I sat on the floor of that place. I looks big from there I tell yea. ECW held a event there a few months before they closed. Not sure if they went all or half the building. There attendence was in the 5,000s I think.

I think they can sell it out because ECW drew a good crowd in that building and the WWE draws good crowds here as well.

[Joe Laracuente WAS WRONG]

HOLY SHIT! i LIVE A HALF A MILE AWAY FROM THE FAMILY ARENA I'LL BE THERE FOR SURE!!!!
