How close together on campus are your stadiums/arenas?

Mississippi States are all virtually right besides each other.
Dudy-Noble (baseball) and the Hump (basketball) actually are connected.
Also, what schools have stadiums off campus? I know Rupp is off campus and I think USCe has their football stadium off campus.

They are all spaced out a little on Ole Miss' campus.

I'd say Swayze is about .4 of a mile from Vaught Hemingway then VHS is about .5-.6 of a mile from the Tad Pad.
ETA: I'm probably way off on those estimates. If any other OM posters have exact numbers please correct me.

Not much.
The Brice is about 2 miles from the Horseshoe (the historical center of the campus).
The Colonial Life Arena is on the west edge of the campus near the Greek Village.
The Ray is off campus about a mile west of the CLA.
The Brice was deliberately located off campus at the state fair grounds in 1934 because they figured being next to the fair would sell more tickets. Go figure.
CLA and the Ray are brand new. Since USC is located pretty much in downtown Columbia, it's virtually impossible to buy new land contiguous to the campus large enough to accommodate new athletic venues.

Your basketball arena looks like a cake with icing running down the sides

I was thinking more along the lines of a cinnamon roll.

The old Swayze Field (before OUS) was in the shadow of Vaught-Hemingway and I think between VHS and Tad Smith Coliseum. Went to a few games at the old Swayze Field when I was a student at State.
Edit: quick google search found this aerial view of OM. You can see the roof of OUS to the left.

The O Dome is right across the street from the Swamp. Baseball stadium isn't too far away, probably like a 15 minute walk (from the stadium/arena).

15 minutes?
All three share the same parking lot/garage. Posted on 5/20/12 at 2:40 pm to MedDawg
I think the old Swayze Field was where the Turner Center currently is.

That's what I was thinking. The baseball stadium looked right behind the basketball arena.

Right behind Turner Center. Right across the street from our practice fields.
