... Will Buddy Boeheim be Jimmy Chitwood? (Or doesn't anyone else remember "Hoosiers" which was filmed there?)

"The boy can't play, he's all wracked up!"

Hopefully, Buddy doesn't get body slammed into the trophy case.

 

[SU in Hershey]

“I’ll make it.”

(And he did. And so will Buddy!)

When it was built in 1928, it was the largest college arena in the US. It remained the largest for 20 years.

 

[Ragman2000]

It's a glorified Quonset Hut but can't wait.

 

[OrangeDW]

Get the tape measure out and show them the dimensions of the court and basket are still the same. Before leaving, someone needs to yell “Orangemen!” and let it echo.

I play, coach stays. He goes. I go.

Very apropos.

Was it really built as an arena only? Cornells Barton hall was bigger and built earlier but maybe not considered an arena?

Looks like Romney Field House from the outside, for you old school Oswego State Great Lakers.

I can only assume it's warmer on the inside.

When they say biggest, I think they mean in terms of seating capacity.

When first built, it held 15K. Never been to Barton. Isn't the seating capacity less than 5000?

 

[OrlandoCuse]

Hopefully JB walks out with a tape measure and asks Edwards to put Girard on his shoulders so they can measure the height of the rim.

Are we Milan or South Bend, though?

I know the average sports fan needs luxury with craft beer selections and artisanal food and limitless comfort but I LOVE old rickety historic stadiums like this.

that would make more sense.. i know that had some crowds bigger than that but 5000 was about all the normal seating they had. I was there several times to packed crowds but it was always an odd shaped layout

 

[Mareiniss]

According to Wikipedia, Barton Hall's seating capacity is only 4,800. However, "For a long time, Barton Hall was the largest unpillared room in existence. The interior of the building covers almost 2 acres (8,100 m2), and includes a 1/8 mile (200m) indoor track."

 

[Chris02M]

we should run the picket fence

 

[CorduroyG]

If you put your effort and concentration into playing the 2/3 zone, to play the best 2/3 zone that you can play, I don't care what the scoreboard says at the end of the game, in my book we're gonna be winners.

Romney was a pit but a nice home advantage. Hockey was the only sport that drew fans when I was there. I played soccer there, We had loyal fan.

Not sure what years you were there but did the hockey rink still have chain link fencing instead of plexiglass. It was real old school. We never missed a game.

As long as nobody (AG) gets caught watchin the paint dry
