The 69-70 25-1 team played at Shields Gym.

Is that still standing?

The building has a fair amount of history, given it’s relatively short life when compared to some of the other iconic gyms in the state. With all the bleachers rolled back, you can have 6 full court basketball games going on simultaneously and another two with about 75’ courts. All but 2 of the games would be on hardwood. 

Sounds like it would be a great place for a large wrestling tourney. Do they ever host those there?

It is still standing. Google “Shields Gym Seymour, IN” too many links to post. Local slum lord has owned it since the 90’s, it’s in a sorry state of disrepair. My guess is at some point to roof will go and it will be gone. A classmate of mine was given access several years back and wrote a great piece on it including current and historic pics, unfortunately I can no longer find it. 

Seymour traditionally hosted the Wrestling SS. Great venue, three mats on the bottom with all the seats rolled back and fans upstairs. Given the history of IHSAA tournaments in Seymour, the Wrestling SS was the most profitable for the city itself. Hotels were full, restaurants were full, etc., we don’t necessarily get that with other tournaments, occasionally at the regional or SS level for the odd team in BB, depending on who gets sent here. Now the downside, the host school for these tournaments receives a ridiculously small amount of money to host, I’m thinking around 150 bucks or so. The Wrestling tournament is really hard on your facilities. For instance the last one we host we had three lockers destroyed and a urinal ripped off the wall. That was the final straw, AD called North Meridian and told them we would not host another one.

Let me just ask you this, do you believe every meme you post in this thread? If you do, you’re worse off than I thought.

Fair enough.

I'm not quite sure if "Fair enough" means you DON'T believe every meme you post, or if you truly are worse off than I thought. Can you clarify?
