Stadium Reviews

This is a bucket list experience. If you only ever see one college basketball game, let it be in the Phog.

The Canisus Golden Griffins provide a college basketball experience that is appropriate for the size of the school and conference they play out of.  The opportunity is there for a great experience at Koessler Athletic Center, one that is enhanced even more when the Griffs are playing the rival Niagara Purple Eagles.

Cassell Coliseum is an old arena, but is still going strong after over 60 years. With raucous fans, especially the Cassell Guard student section, and an electrifying atmosphere from pregame until the final buzzer, a Virginia Tech basketball game is a top-notch fan experience.

Gentry Center is a large concrete facility with a somewhat imposing exterior. The building has few windows, though it appears to have undergone some updates in recent years, including the addition of an aquatics and fitness center.

The Horizon League has announced that its men’s and women’s basketball championship tournament will move to The Arena at Innovation Mile in Noblesville, Indiana, in 2027. The agreement runs through at least 2031, bringing postseason excitement and thousands of fans to the fast-growing northern Indianapolis suburb.

The historic Rose Hill Gymnasium, which opened on January 16, 1925, is often compared to some of the meccas of college basketball.

Founded by the United States’ third president, Thomas Jefferson, the University of Virginia is known as not just one of the top public institutes of higher learning, but also for having a formidable men’s basketball program in both the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) and nationally.

The Pizzitola Center is a small, plain facility which falls short of its historic and unique Ivy League peers in many ways. Still, this cozy gym is not without its own charms, and is frequented by dedicated fans and staff who work hard to put on a good show. In Rhode Island, where hockey and Providence College hoops rule the local scene, there’s a hidden gem on the East Side worth visiting. Go Bruno!

The Cabot Center is by no means a suitable permanent home for the Husky basketball teams. But compare this facility to other small gyms in the area, and it doesn’t really come up short. As Northeastern’s new athletics home is built, the sturdy Cabot Center will ably hold down the fort for the next two or three seasons.

The Clark Athletic Center, while looking very much a product of its time, still offers traveling fans a chance to take in quality basketball at an affordable price. While far from the bright lights of big-time college hoops, small gyms like this make for interesting Stadium Journeys. Don’t sleep on Division Three sports!
