I have always been impressed with the Shockers place. I can remember listening to Des Moines WHO radio's Jim Zabel in 1969 telling how the Henry Levitt arena was so hard to win in and you had to beat the crowd too. I was worried about the Bulldogs playing in the place.
Things haven't changed.
I like architecture so I like to look at the Frank Lloyd Wright house at Wichita.
And..I am still impressed with the WSU football stadium (you can surely see Kansas City from the top row).
I am old fashioned as I have a ton of fun no matter what arena we visit.
I do like the new Ford Center. Well lit..perfect for basketball.
The seats in the Hulman Center are comfortable and have really good activities to watch during time outs.
SIU staff is always very friendly and helpful. Always a good band.
I remember seeing Vincent Price in "House of Wax" in 3D and wore the glasses before going to a game in Peoria.
Nice little bar/restaurant just northwest of the Arena in Springfield. BIG, always hard to win there. Seems I always have trouble finding a parking spot no matter how early I am.
At the Knapp this year I sat on the end of the court packed in with a lot of Wichita fans, we had a great time. Was changing leads (in the first half) and a lot of friendly banter.
I will catch Loyola next year.
MCB, I too like FLW designs. There is not only a house in Wichita designed by FLW, but also one of the buildings on the WSU campus.
