The NCAA pronounced Allen Fieldhouse as the loudest and most intimidating college basketball venue today.
The top 5 went like this:
1. Allen Fieldhouse (Kansas)
2. Cameron Indoor (Duke)
3. Carrier Dome (Syracuse)
4. Gallagher-Iba Arena (Oklahoma State)
5. The Pit (New Mexico)
I’m sure people in Durham will disagree with this, but the daunting venue in Lawrence has some distinct advantages.
Cameron Indoor only seats 9,314 people, while Allen Fieldhouse holds 16,300. Another factor is that Allen Fieldhouse has a student section behind each basket, while Cameron Indoor’s main student section is on the side of the court.
Both are great venues and you can’t really go wrong either way.
