O'Connell Center too low. Rupp is an overrated cavern in a Mall.

I would put Tenn above Auburn and the hump should be right on their heels

Carolina Coliseum >>> Colonial Life Arena

Said this on the MSB, but I wish we could have at least one game at the Coliseum a year.

It truly had one of those unique, college feels. The Colonial Life Arena is fine and all but it's so cookie-cutter - which it was designed to be as a way to attract other events besides our basketball games.

The Coliseum seats about 6k less but was way louder as the fans were right on top of you. No upper deck, just steep seats on all sides.

Before all the construction that is now in front of the Coliseum, one of my favorite views of Columbia was coming over the Knox Abbott bridge with the Coliseum in the foreground.

A true college venue.

13. Coleman Coliseum (Alabama). Coleman gets a few extra points because Elvis Presley once played this venue,

No matter what, can't be worse than ours.

I'll be so damned happy when they get to work on a legit place for our team to play.

Can't really argue with the list, but Rupp would be so much better if they put more students down near the court like they do at Cameron. Never going to happen, but would be nice.

Anyone ranking stegeman last either 1)hasn't been there in a long time 2)has never been to coleman

Our team is obviously a laughingstock but stegeman is superior to coleman in just about every conceivable way.

Tennessee's is really nice with those club seats up top. I wish Arkansas would do that and and put more students down low. Our student section is great.

I would put Thompson-Boling Arena #1 or 2. And I would drop Reed down. No way is it #7.

Too bad UK didn't get their shiny new stadium that was rumored a few years ago.

Did you change the name of gasnsports to starcademedia? I give your website clicks just to see how bad the lists are. This one is bad as well.

I miss the hump being the axles. It was awesome. A combination of Howland, administration, SEC Network, and student reseating have killed the environment

PMAC to high. I also agree that Rupp is overrated.

Rupp Arena (Kentucky). The largest basketball-only arena in America, Rupp opened in 1976 and has regularly seen crowds of over 24,000 during its 30 plus year history



The arena is closer to 50 years than 30 years. What a dumb arse.
