Seeing a live WWF event at the War Memorial when I was about 8 in 1990 was like the end all-be all for me.

I saw the Globetrotters there.

The guy never made the halfcourt hook shot.

I was not happy.

I remember that, probably 90, 91 or so?

But how can everyone forget it as the home of the Charleston Chiefs?

One of the great sports movies of all time.

Cool. Now I can tell people I graduated from (high school at) the Upstate Medical University (War Memorial). Class of '69. You can call me Dr. Max.

It will always be "The Warm" to most. Case in point The Riverfront Coliseum in Cincinnati on its 4th name change...Firstar Arena, The Crown, US Bank Arena, Heritage Bank Center...everyone still just calls it "the Coliseum."
How often does anyone outside the media at the beginning of a telecast, say "we are going to Jim Boeheim Court today for a game.?
Too many memories at the Warm.
