Auburn's new gym is perfect, they did a masterful job in building it.

The crowd is right on top of you, it's on the smaller end so it always looks full.

I hope when they finally tear down the PMAC they get some inspiration from Auburn's new court,

I agree. Burying our student section behind the goal so the fogies can be seated courtside and not make any noise sucks. I'm jealous of places like Auburn and Cameron Indoor where the students are right on top of the court.

I like smaller arenas because the crowds are louder. Auburn hit the jackpot with Pearl. His style of play and enthusiasm for the game energizes that crowd.

The crowd. Their stadium holds noise in very well.


They put their students at the very bottom across the stadium. This creates a lot of niose on the floor and on tv. It is a super small stadium, so this is actually a good idea like Cameronn Indoor.

I always find it ironic when folks from the "booming metropolis" that is Tuscaloosa Alabama make fun of that little ol' country town of Auburn Alabama

AU's Arena is deafeningly loud and exudes tons of energy. I always enjoy going to their games even as a rival fan, folks are very cordial.

They are good. Home field/court advantage is so damn overrated, overhyped, overblown that its humorous.

Auburn's arena is small... Makes tickets almost impossible to get. Following is based on Size... Ole Miss has the newest stadium and I think MSU just remodeled. Wish we had a few more seats in the Balcony (only like 5 rows)

Arkansas has a good homecourt advantage but it does not compare to the old Barn. Most intimidating crowds in the old SWC.
