Womens Nationals Weekend
Celebrity Watch
As a sidenote to the largest Womens Nationals ever....there will be several other things going on during WNW.
For those flying in you might want to keep an eye out while at the airport. On the weekend of the Championship, you could very well see some very famous people. St. Louis will also play host to a world welterweight boxing championship on Saturday night. St. Louis' own Corey Spinks will defend his title in a rematch against Zab Judah. Confirmed guests will include rappers Nelly & Jay-Z; fight promoter Don King, who will already be here most of the week; Bruce Willis, Denzel Washington, Oscar DeLa Hoya. Several others are rumored to be coming but not confirmed at this time.
The fight card, which has been very well supported, has a very good chance of having the all-time highest attendance for boxing held in an indoor arena. Ticket sales are just under 15,000, with a strong chance for a sellout of 20,435. To put that in perspective, the highest all-time attendance for an indoor arena title card in Las Vegas is 17,078 at the Thomas and Mack Center in 1999 for the second Lennox Lewis vs. Evander Holyfield fight.
Based on current sales, Spinks-Judah already ranks third on the list of top grossing events at Savvis Center, topped only by concerts from Billy Joel and Elton John in 2003 and Paul McCartney in 2002. But if this fight sells out, it will be the highest grossing event in Savvis Center history.

Also in St. Louis on WNW...the St. Louis Mardi Gras will be held in the Historic Soulard District. This is believed by many to be the 2nd largest MArdis Gras celebration in the USA. The Soulard area is located very close to downtown for those interested.
