Am I biased or isn't MU #1?

You're biased......but I have no idea how that relates to who's facilities are best.

Don't forget crime rate / dentist density.

Arena?  Practice Facility?  Dorms? 

MU is not #1.

Who is?  Maybe the dorms drops us a bit.

Haven't seen most of them, but MU is a lot better than UConn. Hartford is a good 30 minute ride from their campus and Gampel Pavilion is nothing to write home about.

Fiserve is nice (and relatively new), but big (fortunately MU fans have mostly been packing it).

The Al is getting "old", but new practice facility coming.

Don't actually have a clue about dorms these days, but I get the feeling MU is not on top.

Well we can eliminate:  St.J, DePaul, The Hall, Prov, UCONN, and Gtown.

Eliminate from what?

[wadesworld]

Fiserv way better than CHI. Not sure about their dorms or practice facilities though.

Being #1 as far as facilities.  I'm not talking liquidating these Universties.

I don't disagree, in terms of facility.  But I'd argue fan support MAKES the arena.  MU and Creighton have that going for them.  But then so does the RAC.

[swoopem]

When will the new facility be built? It's still a few years away, right?

For dorms/living, don't they still live in Humphrey?

[TedBaxter]

I hope the new practice facility is planned to start construction in the next 2 years. 

[BLWarrior91]

Fiserv has to be the nicest facility in the league.  Yes, Creighton outdraws us but our place is an NBA arena and we fill it as well. 

If Pitino gets SJU to an elite level then MSG enters the discussion.  A packed MSG is better than any other building.  That's why the Big East Tournament is so special.
