The hall can get loud, but so many of the seats are so far away from the court and the concrete just makes it harder. When they renovated it there was a huge discussion back and forth about renovation versus building new. I for sure was in the camp of build a new arena. The seating and sight lines are just so much better at MSU, Wisconsin ect. So many more seats closer to the floor.
Don‘t get me wrong I love the Assembly Hall for what it is. I saw my first game there in 1967, so it clearly has meaning to me. For $185 million (I believe that was the renovation cost?). You could have had an amazing new arena.
