Advantages? Obviously the stands being so far away don’t help with the environment.

Used to be cool in a novelty type of way.

After they updated the court a few years ago it is just shitty.

It doesn't come across very good on tv. Most camera angles look like the arena is completely empty.

I’m gonna say shitty. The floor elevated doesn’t bother me but bc they have it, they put the benches under the goals which is really shitty looking.

Their gym is unique, but it sucks

I’d be scared I’d over pursue and take a tumble

Lame but too expensive to change.

Are there other courts like this? Weird to see the cheerleaders sitting in the middle of nowhere.

It seems like the coolness of it is directly correlated with how good Vandy is. Lately not that cool.

Seems to be a real advantage to them tonight.

Puts the coaches and bench behind the baseline. Very strange.

Never played on it, but isn't the court used for the Final Four elevated like that?

The reason they are at the baselines is because Rupp complained about having to climb stairs when they were on the sidelines.

Not a fan, just short of hating it.
