Kentucky and Lexington missed the golden opportunity to build boxes to put those old arse frickers and move students to the floor.
Yea Kentucky and Tennessee would have done well to not just tuck the students behind one basket. Auburn, MSU(sparty not cowbells), Duke, Michigan, ect is pretty cool with how the students are wrapped around the entire floor. Creates a much more difficult environment

The Hump used to be an intimidating place to play. However, our AD completely screwed up the atmosphere when he moved the students behind the basket. There hasn't been an intimidating men's game in there since the Stansbury days. We're making some changes, but I worry if we are sinking to a Georgia level of caring for basketball
It's all about the coach infusing life into basketball programs. If MSU gets a Bruce Pearl type that can attract the right guys to play an exciting brand of basketball, MSU will be fine. Ben Howland basketball-at least the Ben Howland version I've seen at MSU these past few years-is boring.
The half filled Hump reminds me of the Cuonzo Martin years after we went from being one of the more exciting teams under Pearl to perhaps the most boring team in college basketball. Unwatchable non-functioning offensive basketball creates empty seats everywhere in the SEC minus maybe Kentucky.

Work will be done to BWA for some updates needed in the next couple of years

The only Starcade media that matters:
Also, that game deserved its own spinoff series. Holy shite, was Track and Field good.

I wish we’d surround the court with students like Auburn. It’d make our atmosphere even better

13. Coleman Coliseum (Alabama). Coleman gets a few extra points because Elvis Presley once played this venue,
It's not last bc Elvis once played there.
When Pete Maravich holds your arena's single game scoring record, it's time to build a new one.

I couldn’t agree more. The students are confined to a relatively small area.

Way too much money lost in donations if you give students tickets on the sides.
They are putting the students behind both baskets next year instead of in the corner.

I’ve been to Coleman and it’s worse than the PMAC. But that doesn’t mean the PMAC doesn’t need to be destroyed or significantly remodeled. Blah would be the best word to describe it. Not awful, just not good.

Aside from downtown, where else on campus/near DT can they throw a new arena?
Nowhere, really. Campus is old and landlocked and lacking parking in a big way. Only thing close to Stegeman would be the Ag Annex which 4H threw a total bitch fit over the idea of tearing down for the IPF (nevermind they would have gotten a brand new annex a block over out of the deal). Other option would be South Milledge but the reason we won’t build anything there is the complete lack of infrastructure for traffic down that way. The outdoor track needs to be redone but we are for some completely stupid reason beholden to the 5 Points residents who like to use the track to jog in the mornings and therefore can’t (won’t) touch that space, even to make it better for the track team

People don’t want to hear this, but a hypothetical new UGA basketball arena would be much more likely to go on South Milledge, near where the softball and soccer fields are, than it is to go downtown.

If we're giving bonuses for concerts Coleman (then Memorial) has hosted a helluva lot more than just Elvis.
- Jimi Hendrix (69)
- Janis Joplin (70)
- Elvis (71, 75, 76)
- The Who (71)
- Jethro Tull (72, 75)
- The Eagles (72)
- Elton John (72, 74, 76)
- Led Zeppelin (73)
- Neil Young (73)
- Allman Brothers (73, 82, 93)
- Lynard Skynard (75)
- Grateful Dead (77)
- Eric Clapton (79)
- Charlie Daniels (80)
- Stevie Nicks and Joe Walsh (83)
- Bob Dylan (90, 97)
- Jimmy Buffett (92)
- Tom Petty (95)
- Widespread Panic (96)
- Hank Williams Jr (08)
Plus The Band, Beach Boys, Ray Charles, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Al Green, Doobie Brothers, James Taylor along with Ronald Reagan and Bob Hope.
It's a shitty basketball arena but it has a ton of history - especially musical. That dwindled when the BJCC opened in Birmingham.

If you showed up on campus on 1969 and graduated law school in 1977 you would have been able to see these acts on campus.
That's pretty fvckin insane. The only major tour between 1969 and 1977 that didn't stop in Tuscaloosa was the Beatles, and that was mainly due to the fact that their last big tour years (1966) was right before Coleman opened in 1968.

You seem to know when that picture was taken. Why can't you answer a simple question?
