How old is that building? My Dad talked about attending events there in the late 50s-early 60s.

I attended many USL basketball games in that building back in their good old days. That place would literally rock. It would get so loud that the seats would vibrate. Back then, the floor was covered with dyed green rice hulls. It was actually a rodeo arena. I don't think it even had AC until the late 70's. Summer events were hell. Winter events, sitting in the high seats, you'd keep your coat on.
Yeh, it is a dump compared to today's arenas but back in the day it was classic.
