Just Sat Down In My Seats...

[hatvol96]

it's as if we have a brand new arena.

 

[abvol]

What is most impressive so far. The Scoreboard?

 

[ThisIsWhyImHot]

How are the concourse/concessions areas?

 

[hatvol96]

Scoreboard is top notch. Concourses are better, but still a work in progress. The black seats are one of the best ideas ever by the UTAD.

I love the way the new black seats look on the website. I can't wait to get up there and check them out in person.

And the loge? Club level?

 

[Knox9552]

awsome. hoping to make a late november game or two myself.

 

[hatvol96]

My seats are in the lower level beneath the club and loge levels. I'll get a look at them later tonight.

 

[awebb7]

I am sure you want to get to the action, one last question from me. What have they done in the upper deck where there was old aluminium bleachers/black curtain?

 

[g8terh8ter_eric]

Those seats sound sweet man. :rock::rock:

not to mention they are all padded as well with cupholders on the seatbacks of the rows in front of you.

i've been saying the same thing.

 

[hatvol96]

Bleachers and the curtain are history.

Don't tell Pat that. She'll whip your ass.

Maybe I can get up there and I can watch a game with ya sometime hat. I want to learn the "Hat Encyclopedia of UT Basketball Volume 1" from the master himself :hi:. If not I would settle for the paperback version. :good!:

 

[Volsguy12]

yea, every seat, up to the last one at the top is cushioned.

 

[IPorange]

The chairs are really comfortable, too.

 

[Bassmanbruno]

Pretty sure it's just the lower level seats that are cushioned.

 

[volfanbill]

Hat, I know you agreed with me on how cool the Palestra is, but one place I've never been to that I desperately want to get to is Hinkle Fieldhouse. Have you been there?

I never have found Indy to be all that spectacular, but if Hinkle is worth it, I would be willing to make a trip to see Butler.

The lower seats are the only cushioned seats.

you have to go. have to. have to.

granted i only saw a HS sub state game there, i was still in awe of the place.

if a HS sub state game is that exciting there, i will most likely start planning the trip. thanks doozer

Hinkle Fieldhouse is as good a true basketball venue as you'll find. Saw Butler play Illinois-Chicago there. Allen Fieldhouse is another one of those old, classic barns.

my wife is a big KU fan and we've been to a few games at Allen Fieldhouse. It SMELLS like a gym. Great place. It felt like I was at a huge high school game.
