Adam - I had seats about two sections over from you at the same level and am glad I was in the lower bowl. It was a good balance of being close but not having to stand the entire time to see. Too bad we didn't get a chance to catch up but it's cool you had a good time.

I decided not to get tickets so i could actually "see" the fights at home but I'm glad to the hear the jumbo-trons get the job done. It makes me wish that I had purchased tickets to my hometown show. Although the booing always seems undeserved, I was particularly ashamed of my fellow Cincinnnatians...it just goes to show how much "fans" still have to learn about this sport. I was glad that Franklin and Silva had enough class to offset the "redneck jamboree". I wonder if the UFC had any idea what significance playing The Who has in that building??? http://wxpn.blogspot.com/2005/12/december-3-1979.html Thanks very much for the inside-event experience, Adam.

The noise level had no justice on the televised edition. I honestly couldn't hear ANYTHING when Franklin came out, nor could I hear anything once Buffer said Franklin was from Cincy. I totally agree with the "watching the screens" part. You don't see all the work done on the ground. Really good show to witness live. We had a blast.

Then Franklin praised Silva and told the crowd not to boo. Silva even looked a little sad he had to do what he did to him. I saw the post fight locker room interview with Rich, and it started with Silva apologising, and Rich laughing and telling him its "just your job" They didnt boo, everyone just went silent, and then they cheered Silva when he praised Franklin.
