Midwest FoxSports broadcasts from there after the Cardinal games. They also do lots of functions with the Blues.
It only cost 100 million to build this complex next to Busch Stadium in St Louis. The big screen - 40 foot - they were showing the matches on was a mere Million dollars. Literally the best big screen I have ever viewed.
They don't just give you this space even though they are making money on drinks/food/parking. It is only thru the connection of Mark Wilson's step son who is one of the most popular radio DJs in town that got the 'in' to have the event here.
The stream was the feed directly from the professional camera crew they had on hand. I am sure it was there first ever filming of a pool match and they did a tremendous job.
Kudos to www.OnCue2.com, Teacher and his crew for getting involved. It was great that each of the Mosconi Cup players willingly became announcers for the stream when they were not playing a match. I hope many of you bought the stream to support what Team USA is trying to do for pool.
The playing conditions were tough. Lots of shadows and strange lighting over the tables.
If they could do an event like this in 20 cities across the US, they would really be on to something.
UTG was there. APA was there. Diamond was there. Oh and probably about 1000 people were there.
Mark Wilson told me he had been up since 6AM that morning putting the wraps on the final to do list to go along with this event. As of 10PM he still had not even had time to eat for the day. If people think he isn't working hard or doesn't care, they are amiss.
Oh and next week - do to the response of this event, Ball Park Village will be showing the 2015 Mosconi Cup matches on this 40 foot screen for anyone to come in and watch. Now pool is getting out into the public. Where else is that gonna happen? Pool is getting somewhere but it obviously takes work and dedication. Those of you that 'dog' Mark Wilson don't have a clue how hard he works.
