Title: The Hearnes Center (now with laundry talk!)
Post by: SkinnyBenny on September 16, 2011, 11:44:49 AM

Man.  Not to go all "we should totally move back to Ahearn!" on you, but why did they ever close that place?  Dope architecture/layout, super steep, v. loud and hard to win there.  But mainly I just like it because it didn't look like every other arena on the planet.  Who here ever went to a game there?  I regret not doing that.

Code issues would be a nightmare for egress and accessibility. By the time you made that place compliant the capacity would be a joke. Best thing to do is to tear the roof of the OOD, and some suites and have a new roof. The roof would be octagon shaped but could be pitched and have gabled ends like a"filedhouse." Also, use lots of limestone type stuff inside.

You're better than this Skinny Benny.   :nono:    Go search the archives of GPC or the Scout board for numerous threads with intelligent discussion on this topic.

I went a couple times - it was a shitty place to watch a game. Cobbled together with obstructed views and crap.

I just like the Hearnes Center because it looks cool and looks like one of the stadiums I would have drawn when I was an imaginative 7 year-old drawing stadiums.  :dunno:  Never saw a game there, but you're right, there probably are pretty horrible views.

Being hard to win there had much more to do about the teams than it did the arena. Just a "FWIW"

Man.  Not to go all "we should totally move back to Ahearn!" on you, but why did they ever close that place?  Dope architecture/layout, super steep, v. loud and hard to win there.  But mainly I just like it because it didn't look like every other arena on the planet.  Who here ever went to a game there?  I regret not doing that.

I went to a lot of games at Ahearn, and absolutely loved that place.  ku - KSU games there while Hartman was coach were my most memorable 'Cat basketball memories.  Agree we can't go back.

went to the hearnes center i think it was the year frank richards and richie terry were in our backcourt.  only thing i remember about the place was how rediculously high up/steep the nosebleed seats were.  really was an odd design.

Griff got us tickets there when he was playing.  Drank everclear the whole ride there and showed up in trim reaper costumes.  Crashed the donor buffet at halftime.  Seemed like a nice place.

Sheesh.

I think that was the same year Ell Roberson and Eric Hickson were a great backfield duo.

I have been to a game there.  Very loud.  Awful to get around in (not quite as awful as AFH, but pretty awful). 

IIRC they had what looked like a shot clock in opposing corners of the arena that measured decibels.  Great way to get the crowd going when they can see how good they are doing at being loud. Pretty rough ridin' dope.

I remember that and it was dope.  Would not be opposed to just straight ripping off this idea for the OOD.

Just looked at it again.  Would be intimidating as crap to be a visiting player there.  steve dave can go right to hell on this one.   :thumbs:

Went the year we that kid hit like 7 threes. He was from columbia, don't remember his name.. Late part of the wooly era. Harris? Streaky shooter.

We won that game btw. Didn't seem so loud. Typical Missouri environment. Tho iirc correctly they weren't having a very good season.

That was the day my friend Chris invited me over to watch the game and I'm pretty sure it was all a ruse to just have me help him fold mountains of laundry. Like I'm gonna fall for that. Just ordered Pizza Shuttle instead.

Bros don't help bros fold laundry.  An exception could be made if a bro had both of his arms broken or ripped off or something but otherwise no.

Hearnes Center came out of the same era and style of the Devanney Center at Nebraska. It was steeper and louder than Nub, but still equally disgusting.

Post by: SkinnyBenny on April 29, 2015, 09:42:06 AM

LOL @ the Hearnes Center being the same style as the Devaney Center. Devaney Center was as basic architecturally as an arena can get. But basically let's talk laundry now.

Both are still used a lot, and in much greater capacity than Ahearn.
