Once Ole Missy's tad pad is gone, I say yes. Who in their right mind would want to play in this dump?

Coleman isn't nearly as bad as you people like to make it out to be.

The only thing wrong with Coleman is the awful seating and lighting. With all of the $ dumped into it over the last 10 years, it does have some top notch accomodations.
That said, it produces a terrible atmosphere. We put the students in an awful spot and there are seats that face other seats. The optics on TV do the program no favors. IMO, we wasted millions when we renovated it. Should've held out for a new arena. It baffles me how some Bama fans dismiss any criticism of the place.
If you're judging arenas on optics & home court atmosphere...then yes, its probably going to be the towards the bottom of the SEC.

It seats 15k and was recently remodeled. It ain't upper half but it's not the worst either.

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

Two Bama basketball threads in one day. Are things that bad in BR?

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