Why a "cage"? The corroded fence that surrounds the rusted lockers and faded rubber floors dusted with years of chalk? The heavy plates and the bars, straight and true? The CAGE is much more than the sum of its parts. It is about people from all walks of life coming together to share a passion for the iron. The CAGE is built, from the ground up, by those same passionate individuals -- fans and athletes who volunteer their time, dedicated employees who can't wait for this one weekend all year long in the dead of winter in Columbus, Ohio. Though it's cold outside, inside The CAGE there's plenty of heart and the fire burns hot.
