[QUOTE="altgeld88, post: 1803631, member: 2886"] Regarding Williams Arena in Minneapolis, I visited it a couple times in the late 1980s. It's a long building containing two arenas. The basketball arena is on the east end and, separated by a wall, a (smaller) hockey arena was on the west end. The Gophers played hockey there until Mariucci Arena was built across the street in the early '90s, and then the women's hockey team played there until they got their own arena several years ago. The ice arena portion is now home to the gymnastics, volleyball and wrestling teams. The Barn is a pretty cool place. Would love to see a game there. That raised floor is around two feet off the ground. Photos of the ice arena are from Bob Busser's stadium/arenas photo Web site ([URL]https://ballparks.smugmug.com/[/URL]) and The Barn photo is form Wikipedia site.
