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.

The pyramid isn't that great. They were supposed to make it Into a bass pro shop
