Is that second picture the night we clinched the MVC last year against Evansville?
The dome appears to be Wichita State?

2nd pic was the night we clinched against E'Ville, and the dome pic was against Iowa in '05. I think Iowa was ranked liked 12th, and UNI won the game in OT.

Whats the story with you Villanova people on playing in two buildings? Do you prefer the smaller on campus, or the much larger off campus NBA arena?

We need more seats when we bring in the Texas, Louisvilles, PITT, yada yada. I like the Wachovia center better, better atmosphere and easier access. When I was at nova the Pavillion was nice just because of the walking distance

Do a couple Big Sky teams actually play in a damn high school gym? I went to a high school of 110 kids 9-12 and we had a gym that we regularly had 1500 in...and could squeeze 2k in.

Yeah those Sac St, and Port St gyms are pretty weak. EWU's is pretty ugly too.

This site gives you virtual tour of WKU's facilities.
E.A. Diddle is AWESOME, who wouldn't want to come to Bowling Green to see a basketball game. This is also where the Kentucky High School Girls Sweet Sixteen is played for several years running.

The Dee Events Center is a very nice arena, all seats more than half of them padded, with a very good parking lot surrounding the building, and easy access inside. The Perfect arena for Weber State. All it needs now is a brand new jumbotron

I like Weber State's, but why in the heck does it have the seating so far back on the sides? I wondered that last year during the Big Sky Tourney, or whatever it was, that was on ESPN.

Normally during the games they bring in extra seats, I dont know if thats what they intended to do when they built it, but thats what they do now, so its not so far away when the games start.
