THE EXPO CENTER ROCKS!! It is one of the only places in the region that you can actually go and sit comfortably and enjoy the game!! And best of all it is neutral so that NO TEAM can claim another team has a home court advantage.

Some gyms are more comfortable than others. But anyone that would want to go back to the old days of waiting in lines, looking for good seats or in some cases a seat period, having people wedged on both sides of you, burning up and so on is CRAZY! We finally have a facility in the 15th that is as good as the 16th playing at the MSU. Everyone just needs to enjoy it.

My thoughts exactly. It's not nearly as hot as any other gym in the region and people aren't so crammed in but the fans are right there able to cheer their hearts out. The seats are new, doesn't have the broken ones like some other high school gyms, and the players get the same amount of practice on the court. I went to tons of high school basketball games especially big tournaments and loved every minute, sweating or not but this just seems like a much better atmosphere for the fans. The players also get the experience of playing in a gym just like Rupp and since the Expo is there, why not use it?
