Which "historical" basketball arena would you want to see a game at?

I still have never been to the Palestra in Philly. They say Big 5 games are fun. I have been to Chicago Stadium, Phog Allen, MSG, so those are off my list.

Is that place still standing?

The first three that come to mind are Hinkle Fieldhouse, Cameron Indoor, and MSG.

The Cow Palace with Pistol Pete.
The Boston Garden and the Forum - I would have loved to see some of the Lakers/Celtics championship games in the 80's.

Cameron and the Phog. I was underwhelmed with MSG.

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.

Municipal is awesome. If you like old arenas and understand history. We played KU there once. Collision killed us.
Hoffheinz in Houston is a dump but saw PSJ play Arky as part of trip to see the Spurs play in HemisFair
Hearnes the sections go vertical
Roberts at Evansville and Bradley were great old places.

Phog and Cameron Indoor.
Not an arena, but I would love to go see some games at Rucker Park one of these years.

Spurs play in HemisFair
As a huge Spurs fan, I would have loved to have seen a game there. I went inside once, but the place was empty. I remember hearing how they literally had to 'raise the roof' to add more seats.
It's amazing how much Hemisfair Park has changed over the years. I like the AT&T Center, it's just a shame the arena couldn't be right in the heart of downtown.

I wanted them to stay in the dome. The move out of HemisFair was done for right reasons. But the Dome is a waste now. I get UTSA plays on Saturdays etc., but the dome was and is a great venue.

In no particular order:
Chicago Stadium
Cameron Indoor
Allen Fieldhouse
Boston Garden

I've always thought the same thing. I wish they had stayed in the dome tbh
