Is that Rutgers home arena or...

I have been to St. Johns place. Real old and worse than a HS gym. If I recall correctly they only have seats on one side of the arena.

If they have a game where they expect to draw more than a few thousand they schedule for MSG.

When I went to the Seton Hall game a couple of years ago it was at the Prudential center. Pretty nice arena.

You want high school gyms, talk to St Johns and Seton Hall about their on-campus gyms, not the pro arenas they rent out.

Same with Nova.

Carnesecca does have seats on both sides (at least it did in 2011). In addition, I've been to the Bradley Center (very nice especially along concourse -- it is an NBA arena afterall), the Rosemont Horizon (a big, old, dusty, empty ricketty shell), Freedom Hall (love the history), Yum (nice, but lacks the history -- much better location than Freedom Hall, though), Shoemaker (only modestly better than highschool gym), Joyce Center (nice experience if not for annoying Irish security), XL Center in Hartford for women's tourney (nice setup and outstanding atmosphere).

Oh, and I went to Rupp once, but it was for Pink Floyd rather than basketball. Still and all, a truly awesome arena.

Nova is not as bad as those others that have been mentioned.
