We practiced in Hinkle for a tourney. Alford pulled strings I know. We played in some IU tourney at Market Square the next night.

I would like to see a game at Freedom just for history. They say it's like Roberts in Evansville somewhat.

The rest of the building went to shite, but I loved our neutral games there because there really isn't a bad seat in the house. They may still end up playing the Derby Classic there but it'll probably be your only shot.

Places still standing, but not in use:

KC Municipal Auditorium - doesn't have an illustrious history, but I went inside this summer and it's like walking into a time capsule. They've done a great job preserving it...complete with a non-digital clock.

Freedom Hall (Louisville)
Parker Coliseum - the Pistol Pete days must have been exciting
Hearnes Center - I think this is the one in Mizzou. Not sure, but I always thought this place looked pretty cool.
The Pyramid - shitty venue from what I've heard. Hell, I just want to go inside.

Currently in use:

Cameron Indoor
Gallagher-Iba (sp?)
Rupp
Phog Allen
Palestra (would have to be a Big 5 game)
Indiana

**I've seen some pictures of the old Big Ten arenas (Penn State, Ohio State, Wisconsin) and those places look like they'd be pretty neat to just wander around in.
