I know they do it to put more butts in the seats which means more ticket revenue but look at this game between Tennessee/Michigan, people are in the stands but its spread out, and everything echoes. It's like they are playing in a cave.

Playing in basketball venues like Honda Center last night or Madison Square Garden is much better for the atmosphere of the game

It does suck, just no atmosphere at all in these huge domes. Should just keep it limited to the Final Four.

You look at Indy and they have a great basketball arena, that would be a great setting for the tournament.

I could not agree more. How the Alamodome has hosted 3 final four's is beyond me.

Totally different atmosphere that what these kids are used to. If I wanted to see bricks being laid I would visit a construction site!
