[QUOTE="altgeld88, post: 1868366, member: 2886"] What an awesome memory [USER=11271]@chiefini[/USER] . My first memory of the Hall is, coincidentally, the same weekend that the 1984 IHSA photo I posted above was taken. As a high school senior I had testing for admitted students that Saturday in late March. (I still remember I took the tests in the main lecture hall of the Mining & Metallurgy Building.) My dad and I drove over from Ohio on Friday. I was staying with a couple other high school seniors overnight in an empty quad in Garner Hall (it was so raucous on the hall that night that I left around 11 and walked over to the Illini Union where my dad was staying so I could get some sleep!) Anyway, after arriving on Friday afternoon, we walked across campus to the Six Pack to check into my room and see Snyder Hall, where I'd chosen to live the following year. We wandered into the AH when it was empty between the high school games. I remember just being dumbstruck at how beautiful that arena is and those unique backboards. Such an exceptional and wonderful venue. [/QUOTE]
