I love the Breslin Center. I go to MSU and I am a little bias but man the Izzo is heartless and will say anything.... Plus the Breslin Center gets so loud. It is getting a little old but is it is still pretty cool.

I also like the Comcast Center, home of the terps. It doesn't have that college arena feel because it is so modern but the Red Army is pretty ruthless and will say anything to get into a person head. My question is

What college arena do you think is the best.

Maryland fans are crazy. Cameron has to be a good one, and I like the Palestra in Philly, where they play a lot of Big 5 games.

I just hate the fact that it has become more about disrespecting the other team than cheering & motivating your own team. Gotta thank those Cameron Crazies for that. They are the ESPN media darlings & now every school thinks that is the way to do things.

My favorite is Bud Walton Arena at the University of Arkansas. UofA has some of the nicest facilities around and this is no exception. It was built in I think '93. Barnhill Arena, where the Hogs used to play, was known for being loud and crazy, so when they built Bud Walton, they wanted to make a state of the art arena, with a large seating capacity, that wasn't so spread out that the noise wouldn't just kind of fill the emptiness in the stadium. So they built a stadium, that square footage wise would hold 14,000, and packed 19,000 seats in it! It is rockin' when the Hogs are at home! The place has great amplification, it doesn't even have to be full for the walls to be shaking. It is a great experience.
