I agree re: the court's 3-point line. But I must say the arena was in good shape, the press and media facilities were as good as Dayton maybe better with more room and press row was setup very nicely with plenty of room there too (GREAT for radio). For fans the seats seemed quite new and with the exception of a scoreboard error the first night everything seemed to work fine (oh and the bird in the fan too, but that could happen in many arenas!!). -- Fordham Rams Basketball Message Board

In reply to: Cincy Ram 's message, "A-10 vs. MAC Tournament: This is the opening paragraph from The mid-majority article on the Miami vs. Bowling Green game from Gund Arena. "There's no doubt in anyone's mind that the Mid-American Conference is a classic high mid-major conference. You can tell that just by attending their annual basketball championship, a well-oiled enterprise if ever there was one. The tourney is sponsored by large corporations, held at an NBA facility, and administered in a smooth, efficient fashion." Thought the contrast with the A-10 was worth noting., and I live in the Queen City. One of the more serious problems is that U.S. Bank Arena hosts relatively few events during the year, and its quite obvious when you attend one - they're just not very good at it." on Mon March 14, 2005 17:07:02

Is the ACC tourney at the MCI Center every year? (NT) -- John, Tue March 15, 2005 10:18:46

Thius was the first year it has ever been there, I believe. It's always been in Carolina, usually Greensboro. (NT) -- RC74, Tue March 15, 2005 10:52:28
