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.

Can confirm. Housing prices have steadily increased between VCU and the hospital and crime has noticeably decreased since the 90s/early 2000s. Young professionals, doctors, med school students, and residents have been moving into Jackson Ward & Monroe Ward for a good five years now.

How does the Siegel Center compare to the Robins Center? I've only gone to see UR basketball games and I thought their arena was large enough for some loud crowds.
