Message: [QUOTE="Hey Adrien!, post: 3413696, member: 5787"] Took advantage of an "emergency" math tutoring need in Harrison, NY this morning and after that headed straight 15 minutes down the road to Iona's Hynes Athletic Center in New Rochelle, NY for the first time. Always respected Iona's program and it was nice to catch a glimpse of the recently renovated center. Paid $15 for a GA seat and found a spot close to center court, unfortunately too close to Monmouth's fans. Moved around during the 2nd half to check out the place from different vantage points. Pretty cool that when you first get your ticket and walk toward the court, the cheerleaders create a tunnel that leads you inside. One unique part of the place is that the only way to get in and out is to walk past the baseline, the same baseline you see in the pic. Due to this, if you move around, you are always close to the court and benches, which is pretty cool. Would have liked to see EJ Crawford live in his senior year, I guess he was injured, but Isaiah Washington did a good job picking up the slack with 25 points and 10 boards. He's a fun kid to watch and him and Gist will make up a heck of a senior backcourt next season. Tajuan Agee is a fireball of intense energy, and you can easily hear him from the stands. He's another program guy who will be missed after this season. High scoring game, but Monmouth ended up winning 94-88. Overall, the experience was OK. Wish the lighting was warmer and the speakers weren't so loud. Also, it's kinda weird that the bathrooms and concessions are a narrow walk down a flight of stairs. However, Iona is a beautiful campus in a handsome, historic part of New Rochelle. Won't be itching to return to Iona as I much preferred the MAAC experience at Fairfield's Alumni Hall, but happy to have checked out a game today!
