ECW Arena And Other Venues
During 1992 through 2001 Eastern Championship Wrestling and Extreme Championship Wrestling ran shows in dozens of arenas and other venues throughout North America and even in co-promoted events in Japan. Many professional wrestling fans associate ECW with the ECW Arena (formerly Viking Hall and now known as the 2300 Arena) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and the Hammerstein Ballroom in Manhattan, New York.
However, ECW performed in multiple venues so this page is dedicated to those buildings and fairgrounds where ECW ran shows.
