MSG is great but it's not on campus, and St Johns on campus is just a gym. Butler and X have great arenas adjacent to campus. Marquette has a new NBA arena a mile from campus and Creighton has a modern NBA quality arena a mile from campus. DePaul has a brand new arena 2 miles from campus and Prov has the Dunk. Georgetown and the Hall have NBA arenas (or former) a few more miles away from campus. UConn's set-up is pretty good and comparable to Nova and St Johns. Gampel is a reasonable on campus facility (much better than Nova and St Johns), and XL is a little further from campus than Nova and St Johns NBA arenas, and smaller and not nice. Of all of UConn's and CT's issues, I can't see replacing XL as a top priority. Get an NHL franchise first and then get a new arena. [/QUOTE]
