Post your basketball arena

Stony Brook University Arena currently sits 4100 or so, though we've been playing in the 2000 capacity Pritchard Gym until renovations are done/started. Construction was last reported to start in 2010, so fingers crossed.

Some photos of the arena design and new locker room facilities. Pretty sure the new arena can sit 6K+, but can't find an exact number. The locker room and basketball facilities are, to my understanding, pretty much done (never seen em so can't say for sure). The student athlete academic center is definitely completed. Arena's next.

Richmond plays in the Robins Center. Capacity is 9071, although we've been averaging about 1/2 that the last few years. It was built in the 70's but has held up well and is a great facility.







RIght next door, we are building this

I've been meaning to ask this since i watched your game this past weekend. Do you play hockey there as well? It just looks like it can have hockey set up in it.

[ur2K]

We don't have a hockey team (we do have a club team but they play at a local rink), so no hockey at the RC.

It doesn't look like it in that picture, but Varsity Gym was said to seat 8,000, though I believe its true capacity was around 6,500. It has been refurbished and is the practice center for the basketball teams. The remaining seats have been removed, and new floors were installed. It should help in recruiting going forward. The Holmes Center seats around 8,500.

Where are the baseline seats?

[BlackFalkin]

They are removable, Ive only seen baseline seats at a few games & the band was sitting in that section.

[clenz]

I still want to see them. People give football fields shit all the time because some dont have endzone seating. Not having it in basketball is worse. And temporary seating isn't much better.

We've just been spoiled by the quality of the MVC facilities. There isn't another non-BCS conference that even comes close.

What would you say is the worst MVC facility? Drake?

The Roundhouse is a special place. I actually enjoy both E'ville and InSU.

[putter]

I still can't believe Montana actually did a remodel of the fieldhouse and put in LESS seating.......

this is the south - son
you don't deface a decent BB facility with a hockey rink

One thing I don't like is seeing volleyball lines on a basketball court. Am I being too much of a hardass?

Kimbel Arena

[FargoBison]

Hopefully we can get a new arena someday soon but here is the BSA(6,000)..

[DJH]

fargobison, is it just me, or is that hanging scoreboard about 15 feet above the floor? seems pretty low.

[FargoBison]

It is low, it can kind of get in the way on a full court shot, I remember a shot or two hitting our old scoreboard.

These photos are extremely deceiving. What's missing are the prostitutes and drug dealers on every corner, and the hypodermic needles that have been discarded on the sidewalks. Additionally, the SPEW is the only arena I've encountered that has plastic covers on every seat - in an effort to prevent the grease from unwashed hair from staining the upholstery. VCU fans are just awful, inbred, and bohemian people; an issue that evolution will hopefully correct in the next few generations.

Deja Vu.... didn't you ask this same question last year? I swear someone asked about Richmond using their arena as a hockey rink... but then again, I'm off my game this morning so I could be wrong.

BTW, just want to say, your screenname is awesome!

Tracks don't bother me, but soccer and field hockey lines on the FB field do (which we have in addition to the track). Volleyball lines could be taped down pretty easily. The only things that really need to be painted down are the corners and "Ts" for the ten-foot line.

2 levels of bleachers and seating was available and some on the Broome-Kirk end as well. Capacity may have been 6500 but I've seen 8k in Varsity. The old floor was great and it was fun to sneak in there on Sunday's for a pickup game.
