Weird 'survey' when you ask fans who will invariably pick their home court. Question identical to 'which are the nine strongest programs with most active fan bases. And of course, the results validate that.

The Pit and Vanguard University in Costa Mesa, CA. Only 4 rows on the sidelines and depending which end of the court. 8 rows or 3 rows.

This is what passes for a scientific sociological study nowadays in the age of social media.

The fans have spoken! :cool::rolleyes:
Sorry, @triaddukefan , High Point didn't make the cut

I'm in a cantankerous old man mood tonight... so I won't comment on that right now

Just wait until High Point moves into their $120 million dollar complex in 2020-21....

Well to me, the best places to watch games would be either old historic barns.... or modern palaces. So of the list.... Yum and Gill would be the two that fit the bill of the 9 listed.

I haven't been in it, but I don't think Uncle Phil spared any expenses on Matt Knight Arena, so that would probably fit the bill as well.

Perhaps.. I wouldnt step foot in the place

Being a Husky fan I still have to say it. If you can't get charged watching your team play SCar at Colonial Life you ain't a WCBB fan.

I’m a season ticket holder and it is pretty nice.

That is a pretty rocking environment. In the beginning at least. But it's still nice to see so many thousands turn out for women's basketball.

Gampel??? - Maybe in the lower bowl. Try squeezing into the ass numbing seats in the upper bowl.

IMHO the Mohegan Sun Arena is a great place to watch a WBB game!
It's what Gampel Arena should have been! All REAL seats no bleachers!

I was going to mention the Sun Arena as a great place to watch WCBB. Then I noticed the list was all home arenas. In any case the Sun beats the hell out of Gampel in about a dozen different ways.

Let me just add my 2 cents worth to the Mohegan Sun Arena. I have to agree what you and @RSHERMVIKES mentioned. For the few times I've been there to watch a game or two, I found myself going up to the "upper bowl" to watch the games. Those seats seem to be right on the action, great view from up there.

I'm always impressed with how well Cyclone fans support their Iowa State team.

I don't think they've ever been to a final four. Elite Eight maybe once or twice, but
they always draw in the top five year in and year out.

Maybe there's just nothing else to do in Ames. :rolleyes:
