Location: the Park Slope area of Brooklyn. Corner of Doughty and Everit.
Look: It's a large stone-built church that was left to crumble before being retro-fitted into a large black box theatre.
There's three large 20-foot stain glass windows to the west of the ring.
Seating: A dozen rows of bleacher seating are to the south of the ring. And a good four rows of folding chairs surround the ring. There are no barriers between the ring and the chairs on the floor, but there is still ten feet of room between the first row of floor chairs and the ring for the ringside space. There's also a ten foot divide of chairs, due north of the ring that represent the "ramp" way, leading to large black curtains that separate all of this from backstage.
There's also a balcony that looms a fair distance away from the ring, above the double doors, east of the ring. The ownership group sits here, though mostly just Russel David and James Boyd... as well as a referee, to back-up the man in the ring if needed.
High Flyer and Garret Frampton chatter on the PA system, in an AV booth behind the bleacher seating, south of the ring.
The Ring: Black ropes. White mat. Black apron. Large black logo spray painted into the center of the ring. Center of it all, the ring will actually be in-set into the floor so that it's actually no more then a foot up from the floor. Otherwise known as a pony ring.
