It is a large structure with a retractable roof, and has absolutely no character. This was a loud and crazy place to see a basketball game. Half of the fun was taking the road trip up to the middle of nowhere. The game between Rutgers and Syracuse ended in predictable fashion, but it was a great experience. Nachos Very luxurious, very corporate.
Shopping mall meets sports arena.
It really rocked in the mid and late 80s, but many cross-town fans are not too fond of it. It is also rumored to be a willing host of the much maligned wave. Sorry, Rutgers v. Temple doesn't have the same luster as Georgia v. Georgia Tech. This was a great host to the Atlantic 10 Tournament. I had the distinct pleasure to see it during Game 4 of the 1998 World Series.
