That gym is unique and with a decent VU team is a hard place to play in. UK has had many crazy nights there. I don't mind the gym at all. Its great to see something like that today instead of the bland gyms today that all resemble the same thing.
We can agree to disagree. I like the uniqueness. You sound a bit angry with all CAPS and yes they need some upgrades, but overall it’s a nice place to play. I could argue that in many aspects Rupp is god awful with accessibility and only now getting decent with some upgrades after years of neglect.
It shouldn't be allowed to be unique. I don't think they allow anyone to build arenas like that anymore (benches in the endzone). Just like you can't paint your football field all blue like Boise State. It gives them an even bigger advantage playing there than most teams have playing at home. We've been subjected to "Memorial Magic" many times over the years.
I agree with what someone else said. That the SEC should force them to make a change and completely redo that place or build a new arena. They could also see if they could lease out the Gaylord Entertainment Center if they don't want to do either of the other suggestions. With all the money they get from the SEC, there should be requirements that facilities should meet to be a member of this conference.
