Have you been?  What is it like?  On my bucket list to see it and Cameron. Heard both are amazing. I've been to UCLA's Pauly Pavillion, nothing special but that could be because the crowd was not in it.  If you get a chance, Hinkle is great and the Palestra in Philadelphia also wonderful.  Also underrated is the Pit in Albuquerque.

I went to Cameron two years ago, and Phog Allen this past season. I really enjoyed Phog Allen, but Cameron Indoor was like seeing the Sistine Chapel. That was the best basketball experience I’ve ever had, can’t recommend it enough.

They were bad last year & lost a bunch, imo. Lotsa OK teams on deck.

Lose a lot at the top. Gain a lot at the bottom. Likes like a good old fashioned cluster

I do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.

I've been to Phog a number of times and it's cool but not worth heading out to Lawrence just for that.  I may be turned off by the "isn't this just the greatest environment?  It's really special!  Unlike anything else" multiple times a visit if a) you don't openly fawn about it or b) you tell someone you didn't go to KU. 

Your connection to the program probably afforded you a different experience than mine.  I'm dropping my kid off there for hoops camp in a couple of weeks, maybe his experience will endear me more to the facility/program.

I was at Phog for a December (during break) game against Binghamton. It was packed and loud. I was very impressed.

At many schools (not just Marquette), a winter-break game against a crap opponent leads to half-full (at best) buildings and middling excitement.

I know they have nothing else there in Lawrence, but it still was impressive to me.

Agreed, I/we love college hoops, so Phog is a cool experience, but I don't feel the need to go back. Getting to Lawrence is a pain, I liked the campus and the town, but it's not a "gotta get back there" again place for me.

I'd encourage people if they have the means to go to a Duke game, even if you hate Duke as a program, it's campus is unreal, the building is unassuming when you get to it on campus, and the walk from the "concourse" to getting into the seating area and seeing the court/hearing the sounds still gives me goosebumps. Probably like baseball fans that walk up the concourse steps at Wrigley for the first time and then see the field.

Although IMHO nothing beats the horn at the Phog.

Bucket list of college hoops arenas I'd like to see a game in someday:

The Silk Exotic Chaluparena  ;)
Cameron Indoor
Hinkle Fieldhouse
Allen Fieldhouse
The Palestra
Pauley Pavilion

I know Pauley isn't in the same ballpark as the others in terms of age/atmosphere - even a friend who went to UCLA admits it's nothing special - but I grew up watching MU in the Arena and remember hearing about those UCLA teams playing at Pauley all those years. Seems like it'd be fun to check it out...hopefully as an MU road trip.

That sounds great and all, but have you ever seen Marquette beat South Florida on a Tuesday in early February? The BC was magic.

The BC is horrible.  So excited for the move and having a homecourt advantage more than just a few times a year again

Nah, that’s BS. Too many good memories there.  But, we move on to the WESC.

I could make that argument about pretty much any stadium under those circumstances.

Unless the BC was filled to the corners with 19,000+ it was difficult to make so much noise that it intimidated the opponents.  Now, the MECCA - that place rocked and vibrated and shook with 12,O00.  Ah rah?  Hope the new place rocks

I generally agree with you except that it doesn't apply to many college basketball venues.

I was at the Phog for a Xmas break game against Binghamton. It was sold out and rocking.

Assembly Hall and Cameron are always sold out and rocking, regardless of when the game is played and who the opponent is.

But yes, these and a select few other places are exceptions and not the rule.

Now, the MECCA - that place rocked and vibrated and shook with 12,O00.  Ah rah?  Hope the new place rocks

It was always sold out and rocking when I was there - and that was the start of the Hank Era.
