What about the Palestra? Known as the Cathedral of College Hoops?
While it is not used as it once was it still sees some action, and is an absolute must for a CBB fan’s bucket list, IMO.
From Wiki:
The Palestra has hosted more regular season or post-season [URL=”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Collegiate_Athletic_Association”]NCAA[/URL] men’s basketball games, more visiting teams, and more NCAA tournaments than any other U.S. arena.[URL=”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestra#cite_note-3″][4][/URL] It is often called “the birthplace of college basketball”. It has hosted the East regionals six times (most recently in 1980), and the sub-regionals ten times (most recently in 1984). In total, 52 NCAA Tournament games have been played at the gym since it first came to Penn’s campus in 1939.
