the o-dome is a bigger p.o.s. than coleman. trust me i've spent a lot of time at both places in my days. was an athlete so i've seen them both inside and out.

everyone says the PMAC has bad sight lines but Coleman looks worse from those pics



I haven't ever heard this criticism.... Nor do I really believe it. I have worked at the PMAC and been a season ticket holder for a while now and I think it's problems are basically student seating, mens restrooms, and the fact that the tv cameras don't face the benches from the front. Maybe the lack of leg space.

The O dome is the biggest POS in the SEC.

Bammer has renovated theirs decently. It's better than Tad and Hump. But new tad will be nice. LSUs is pretty shitty too.

O dome takes the cake for garbage though.

If you're judging arenas on optics & home court atmosphere and seating...then yes, its probably going to be the towards the bottom of the SEC.

Tad Pad - the only arena in the nation where a basketball game can be cancelled due to rain.

It just bothers me that the court goes a different direction than the arena.


There's a good reason for this.

Coleman looks really nice on the exterior, but I like the Hump better on the inside. Plus our basketball training facility is only about 4 years old.

TBA could be used for an NBA team if it had to. God our arena is so nice especially since the renovations

I've been to the P Mac and Coleman, and the P Mac (unless renovated int he last couple of years) is a far bigger dump.

Was that an old airplane hangar? It looks like the "dome" Idaho plays football in.

O Dome is getting reno'ed for a reason.

It may be a shite hole but the teams that play in the O Dome are really good.

Do they use poor wood or something? Ball doesn't bounce properly? Material too slick? What is it about the court itself that is awful from when you've been on it?


There's that ugly "A" on it.
