Coleman is ugly and looks even worse on TV. The overall setup is the worst of any arena I've ever been to. The renovations they did made the concourses nice, but it was a waste of money in the long run.


Byrne has said he's looking into the basketball facilities. Maybe in the next 2 years we'll see something.

Can't wait to see how we do against the Canadian teams. I just wish Dazon didn't have the foot issue so we could get the full effect.

Bama fans downvoting but I bet none of them can find an uglier looking basketball arena than Coleman in all the P5


It's probably not just Bama fans. When you troll constantly and act like a douche, a lot of people probably just downvote on site.

And I thought that you used to be alright. Or maybe that was Action Jackson, or whoever the guy that grew weed at the super medical grow in Arizona.

Coleman Coliseum has a gloomy, depressing, bad vibes feeling. Poorly lit. It's just ugly man. I wish y'all had saved the money y'all spent "putting lipstick on a pig" by fixing up the outside and making the front of Coleman look nice and had put that money in a rainy day jar to go towards building a new arena. It's just so out of place to have such nice facilities otherwise and then have such a shitty basketball arena. I can't imagine how disappointing it would be to see the front of Coleman if you had no expectations and then walk inside to a 1960s HS gymnasium.
While you are correct in your assessment, WHY DO YOU CARE?

It's nice to have a coach that actually cares to market his program. You couldn't even get Grant to speak on a local radio station.


This. Grant seemed like a good guy,but no personality. Johnson is extremely engaging and enthusiastic.

Great person but did not want to deal with the media or much at all outside the basketball office. That isn't really an option for an SEC basketball coach at any school other than Kentucky (and even there it hurts you).

He's been as much as I could have hoped for when hired him so far in his 2+ seasons. Now it's time to take things to the next level on the floor.

I cannot stress little Anthony Grant did to promote the program. Couple that with a boring offense and all the life just got sucked from the fanbase

I agree. Should definitely make the tournament and could make a little run.

FIFY. No way in hell the actual seating is worse. I've been in Coleman when State played and had to duck to see under a rafter covered in asbestos.

What rafters? And maybe don't sit on the very last row next time.

That is where all the perverts sit during the Bama gymnastics meets. It is very dark there.

Yes, I'm amazing.

Because if you're going to parade the name of my home state around on national television then I prefer the building you're playing in not be a total embarrassment.

You play football in a 1955 Soviet apartment complex
