The old RW arena was sold for scrap years ago.
Building a Replica isn't impossibility either.

There isn't really an incentive to do so for its current use. The arena was a bit excessively big (to look good on TV) and the current arena takes hours to put up and down as it is.

You know, when you actually think about it.. it really was, length ways at least... the pit release is a long way from where you start..

Good Luck today Vertigo!
