Stadium Reviews

War Memorial at the Sobrato Center is a hidden gem for college basketball fans.

I’ve been coming to see the Spurs at Frost Bank Center since day one. What they have always done and still do well is make the games feel like big events. This is not always easy to do during the long NBA season.

The Waterloo Warriors have now fully embraced the renovation to the PAC.  Carl Totzke Court @ Physical Activities Complex is a comparable facility to other USports programs and the Warriors are slowly improving.  Returning to the success of the seventies and eighties is the ultimate goal, and providing fans a solid gameday experience is a step in the right direction.

The Toronto Raptors find themselves back in contention in the Eastern Conference.  Even when they were in the midst of their rebuild, the Raptors put together one of the elite NBA experiences at Scotiabank Arena, one that fans should not miss out on.

The atmosphere inside Kimmel Arena is not overwhelming or particularly intimidating for visiting teams, but for an NCAA Division I venue, it generates a surprising amount of energy.

The Butcher Athletic Center is the on-campus home of the Rams’ men’s and women’s basketball teams.

Once a year the Brock Badgers “Paint the Meridian Red” storming downtown St. Catharines.  This basketball event is one of the elite USports basketball events and one of the few off campus events.  Taking in the Badgers at Meridian Centre will definitely make fans See Red!

Memorial Gymnasium in Rushville, Indiana, has been home to high school basketball since 1926.

Ahead of the 2025–26 season, New Orleans native and rapper Master P joined the staff as general manager and assistant coach, injecting new life and hype into a program still rebuilding from Hurricane Katrina over 20 years ago.

UMass Dartmouth offers an entertaining night of basketball at an affordable price. Fans who like their hoops with a side of architecture may wish to visit UMass Dartmouth for another reason entirely. A tour of the Paul Rudolph-designed campus can be just as interesting as the action on the court.

For an arena built in 1968, the Ohio University Convocation Center is a rather decent place to watch basketball.

The GSU Convocation Center is a great place to take in a Panther’s game.

Maples Pavilion offers an accessible, affordable, and intimate college basketball experience. The atmosphere is solid but not electric.

Goldfarb Gym opened in 1965 and is home to the Blue Jay men's and women's basketball, volleyball, wrestling and men's and women's fencing te

Chicago's arena has taken a bold step into the future of event experiences by becoming the first to offer a unique selection of drinks

The New Mexico State Aggies men’s basketball program has called the Pan American Center home since 1968, giving fans nearly six decades of memories in the venue.

The Chesapeake Employers Insurance Arena is a major improvement over the old RAC and is a good home for this mid-major program.

Thanks to some much needed renovations from 2010-2012, Pauley Pavilion hardly looks her age of 60.

Two hours of bliss can be found indoors at The Thunderdome, home court of the area’s only NCAA Division I institution, UC Santa Barbara.

IU Indianapolis basketball revived its former Metros identity with throwback uniforms, honoring the program’s history before becoming the Jaguars in 1998.
