Where Have You Seen UMass play?
Re: Where Have You Seen UMass play?
^ Nice selection of pics.
Not sure when the top pic was taken so I don't know about the seats.

Re: Where Have You Seen UMass play?
Good find. From that picture, it looks like at some point the Cage was outfitted with open deck bleachers. I see a Clark banner up there. Did we ever play basketball in the same league as Clark University? I wonder what the Agawam banner is all about.

18-6 lifetime against Clark. Last game was a couple of weeks after I was born (no, there were no ladders to retrieve the ball from the peach basket)

And the picture of the cage above shows the keyhole lane which apparently went away in 1951.

But Agawam High School apparently did not open until 1955, so who knows??

The wooden bleachers were in place until the renovation in 1985. After basketball ended, the court and the wooden bleachers were removed and the existing dirt floor welcomed ground balls.

C/O 2012
Hockey: Mullins, TD Garden
Hoops: Mullins, Robins Center (U of Richmond)
Football: McGuirk
Lacrosse: Garber
Plans for this year: add HTC Ctr (Myrtle Beach Invitational), Siegel Ctr (@VCU this year), EagleBank Arena (@ GMU), Charles E. Smith Ctr (@ GW) Barclays Ctr. Should have away games vs GW, Mason, VCU this year and an invitational in SC. It's a great year to be a fan in Virginia!
