When I started this thread two years ago, this was what I remembered:

Fordham--Rose Hill
St. Louis' old arena (just opened a new one last season; haven't been)
Seton Hall at Prudential Center in Newark (Hall plays off campus)
The building formerly known as the Centrum
The Bill
The Fleet
The Cage

I guess I should have called the Fleet the Garden. I've also seen them at the Civic Center and later the Mass Mutual Center, at Quinnipiac, and at MSG for holiday tourney in 05 against St.Johns and I believe St. Peters. Will be headed down to the Smith Center for GW game this weekend and hope to get to Liacouras for Temple game later this season. If we win the next three, who knows, maybe I'll have to find a way to get to Hawk Hill as well.

Really, really enjoyed the Smith Center this past weekend. Place is really well laid out and can get quite loud despite only fitting 5K. Also, for what it's worth, there were easily 300 or more UMass fans in attendance, though most seemed like DC-area alums with minimal awareness of the team's actual progress. Still, a tremendous amount of maroon in that arena; most I've ever seen at a UMass road game.

Wow. Didn't even realize this thread actively existed. Well I've been a serious fan for 20 years... walked onto our Amherst, Mass. campus in the Fall of 1991.

Well anyway, here goes the shaking up of thy memory...

The Cage
The Mullins Center
(The first ever game there against W. Virginia) - Including the UConn game, the Temple blow-out from a few years back, and honestly dozens of games while I was still a student and 20-plus games since I graduated (BC to Vanderbilt). And from Jim McCoy to Chaz Williams I've been passionately following the UMass Basketball program for half my life... they are for sure the first sports team I support.

Madison Square Garden - The '94/'95 or '95/'96 (I forget) regular season game against Fordam - during Camby's 2nd or 3rd season. NIT Championship game against Ohio State '07/'08

The Fleet Center - The Memphis game in Dec. of '09.
The Atlantic City Convention Center (Boardwalk Hall) - Atlantic 10 Conference Tourney against Temple March '12.

Hey, and ya know what? I'm gonna tack on this coming Tuesday, March 27th too... yes indeed... this guy will be at the Stout Bar around the 4 O'clock hour and in the crowd cheering on the team come tip-off. Keepin' it real now people! Let's do this... show up in force! You know these boys will be playing their fuckin' asses off - the least we can do is show up in numbers and cheer them on as loudly and as passionately as we can... Be in New York City on Tuesday, March 27th, 2012 at the World's Greatest Arena... Madison Square Garden... Massachusetts vs. Stanford!!!!!!

Was that the game of the "pink" (or so they looked because of the way they were cared for) jerseys for UMass? Or am I totally crazy and misremembering that this ever happened?
Hire Matt McCall!
