Breslin Center at 17? Give me a break, Izzone is one of the best in the country.

I have no idea how one can rank arenas on such a broad list of categories.

[GoMuskies]

Rupp Arena #1?!? No.

[Masterofreality]

Read through this whole list a week ago.

All Bullshoi.

[THRILLHOUSE]

What a turrible list. Erwin Center at #10 is a joke. That arena is a dump and there is no atmosphere there unless a big name (i.e. Kansas) is there.

[XU 87]

How did that movie theatre where Miami (Ohio) plays get ranked so high? I thought it would be close to last.

[Mel Cooley XU'81]

We're gonna sneak up on a lot of people.

For an arena that opened more than 45 years ago, Millett's exterior and concourse are in pristine condition. The design is definitely a relic of the 60's but fits in well with the design of the rest of the campus. During a weekend day game, and the concourse has a bright, airy feel that's unusual for venues of this age.

That comes from a lack of use.

That is a really poor description of Millett. It's a eyesore on Miami's campus, you don't go to an arena for the councourse, and the "bright, airy feel" is from a lack of amenities.

I can think of a lot of words I could use to describe Millett. "Bright" and "airy" wouldn't make the top 100.

Does it smell better than the Gardens?

This may be one of the worst lists ever compiled.

Are you kidding? You don't have USC Upstate ahead of Cameron Indoor Stadium? (They may be Duke, but that place is classic and rocks!)

This may be one of the worst lists ever compiled.

May be? Hell I challenge you to find one that is worse...

What a bunch of utter and complete bullshit. Did this dumb ass even go to half these places?

[chico]

This list is awful. Rupp is an awful place to watch a game unless you're in the lower bowl.

However, the new Rupp is going to be really, really nice.

Not to brag but I've worked in at lest 100 of those arenas and my list would start: 1)Cameron Indoor, 2. Phog Allen Field House, 3. The Dean Dome, 4. Cintas, 5. Robbins Arena in Richmond, and then pick 'em in almost any order...

[MD Muskie]

The Cintas Center is way better than the Comcast Center. WAY BETTER. The only time that arena gets full is when Duke is in town and that's never gonna happen again.
