Just got tix to Q@'s/Hawks in Allen

[Cartierfor3]

 And what did they spend $50 million on?

[Trim]

Sounds like about 95% of the people in this thread haven't been to Allen Fieldhouse since they did over $50 million in renovations.  It's the best college basketball venue in the country.  Period.

I was there in January 2009.  I went to Mizzou arena the same year.  Personally, I liked Mizzou arena better.  What other college basketball venues have you been to that allows you to make such a blanket statement?  And what did they spend $50 million on?

Spoken like a true K-State fan.

CartierFor3 is a true cancer fan, not a K-State fan, dumbass.

You should find that piece of paper with some outdated rules on it that that dood just wasted his money on it.  Get it and burn it.  Got to intimidate the fans and stuff.

Just pointing out that LSOC needs to update the BMW right-wrong batting average.

Well, looking at this debate the most non-powertardy way possible, which I believe is objectively as possible, it all probably really depends on what your preference is. Do you like the more traditional stuff or the more new shiny stuff? KU fans are obviously going to embrace tradition being that they have a lot. and naturally Allen is just going to give them the biggest throbbing flesh pole ever, and they have no idea how anyone could prefer anything else. Personally I'm probably in the middle but I know a lot of people that would much rather be in a brand new facility. And those that respect ku's tradition but just don't care about it much, like me, just won't appreciate Allen the same way.

So basically, enjoy your crumbling smelly building, I totally get it, but don't go crazy when others don't get what the big deal is.

Someone clearly hasn't been to the YUM Center in Louisville, Kentucky.  It shits on the Sprint Center, and it's a college venue.

Perhaps a little.  After simple research I discovered how dumb I am.  Berate away.

I just watched the UL-Butler game on tv and the announcers kept talking about it being a college venue.

59-55 was pretty fun at Allen.  Still LOL when people call Bill Self the best coach in America...he lost to Jim Wooldridge AT HOME.   

Pretty sure that was the worst day in the lives of the KU fans around us.

KU student section likes to throw things at opposing fans in their section.  Usually it's just wadded up newspaper, but be aware.

What part about $50 million in renovations don't you grasp?  Everything in the building is practically brand new.

Pump your brakes chief, I'm on your side. What did they spend the 50 mil on? Honestly would like to know. I fully understand the value in keeping a place like that alive. I love that kind of stuff and I'm pumped to check it out twice (just got UT tix) this year.

went to 59-55 after buying some of the unclaimed GA student tickets they always resell.  got there bout 10 min b4 tipoff with my dad and both of us in full kstate gear had no issue sitting about 15th row back right in the middle of the students.  the whole thing was completely underwhelming and not intimidating at all.
