Grapple at the Garden, Sponsored By Suplay, Will Host Its First Collegiate Wrestling Event At Madison Square Garden

Online, October 26, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Suplay.com, the leading online retailer for youth and adult wrestling gear and accessories, is proud to announce its sponsorship of the inaugural Grapple at the Garden collegiate wrestling competition, which will take place on December 16 at Madison Square Garden.

Billed as a 14-team dual meet, Grapple at the Garden will be the first amateur wrestling event ever held at New York City's most famous sports venue. The meet promises to deliver superior wrestling action as many of the nation's top college programs have committed to appear, including Missouri, Cornell, Iowa, Rutgers, Oklahoma State, George Mason, Nebraska, Ohio State, and Bucknell.

"We are always looking for opportunities to help expand our sport and broaden its appeal," says Gary E. Frey, CEO of Suplay Wrestlers World. "When we heard about Grapple at the Garden, we immediately recognized it as a potentially groundbreaking event for collegiate wrestling and knew we wanted to be on board as the presenting sponsor. This is just such a natural fit for our brand and our customers."

Mr. Frey further believes that the venue will contribute as much to the prestige of the event as the participating teams. "Holding a competition of this caliber at Madison Square Garden automatically elevates everything to the big-time," he states. "There should be a good amount of press coverage and lots of positive exposure for collegiate wrestling as a whole."

Tickets, which start as low as $20, are on sale now at the MSG box office, Ticketmaster, and www.thegarden.com/grapple. Travel packages that include airplane tickets and accommodations at the Sheraton New York, the official hotel for all teams, are also available now.
