re: PMAC sounds weak compared to VCU gym

Are you just using statistics as justification for this statement? Sure there's crime in Richmond but where the Siegal Center is located is not in a crime ridden shithole as you say. The whole area where it's located is catered towards the students. VCU is a spread out campus with mostly off campus housing and that area is where many of the students roam. The university basically owns the downtown because of the hospital.

The venue is small but that helps the environment in there. Similar to Duke which is also tiny. Havoc, as they call it is one of the better crowds there is in college basketball.
