[QUOTE="altgeld88, post: 1860452, member: 2886"] St. John Arena in Columbus, where OSU played until the late '90s was the same. Metal roof and the place just rocked and sound reverberated when a game was tight. The Bucks beat Ralph Sampson and Virginia in January 1980. Noon start, national TV. I was 14 so memory is foggy, but I don't believe I've heard a louder college basketball crowd than that day in that arena. Maryland upsetting #5 Wisconsin in the Comcast/Xfinity arena in College Park 2014 was up there, however. Gotta see an Illini-Purdue game in Mackey before I cash in the chips. And then dinner at The Beef House afterward. ;)🥩 [/QUOTE]
