I'd put Pauley Pavilion up there along with The Pete (Pitt).


Both good choices.

I respect that it's tough to play there and the crowd can be really good, but it is a terrible set-up.

Why are you yelling?

And Syracuse and Duke are the top 2 IMO

Some people enjoy basketball

I'm sure you loved it when Davis and Thomas were playing at LSU

Memorial Gym is incredible though when it gets packed out


Memorial gym is awesome. We got to practice there once before the state championship and the whole set up was cool.

Now the Tad Pad on the other hand was one of the worst gyms I have ever played it. The floor was terrible, I swear there was no AC in the building and it had a strange stench. My high school gym was nicer.

The Hump was okay, but nothing special.

Rupp is awesome, but is dying to be renovated. Same as Coleman.

Some great memories in the Viejas student section. BYU has asked for written apologies, UNLV copied their student section to emulate, the big head signs were started there, and some hot women.

Plus it 's steep seating comes from our old football stands, preserved and on the National Historic Register.

Going to the Dean Dome is god awful by comparison.

LSU = dead friggin last. Looks like a ufo landed next to tiger stadium in 1970 and never left. PMAC is a terrible eyesore.

Smith Spectrum (Utah St.)

Not the fanciest, but damn do they know how to do it.

There are some pretty good small venues out west. Utah State just joined MWC, so they are adding to an already tough road slate

Spectrum (USU), Viejas(SDSU), The Pit(UNM), Thomas & Mack (UNLV) are all tough places to get wins out of. I think each team only dropped one home game last year (along with CSU's Moby Arena and Boise State's TB Arena)

USU's "winning team, losing team" is a great one. SDSU uses IBTWWW as well, but USU does it right.
