Where Have You Seen UMass play?
Saw a thread like this on another forum. Kind of a fun topic (perhaps one worthy of a sticky). Basically, people tell where they have seen UMass play and discuss the quality (or lack thereof) of those arenas, their fan bases, and the experiences they've had there.
Fordham--Rose Hill
St. Louis' old arena (just opened a new one last season; haven't been)
Seton Hall in Newark
The building formerly known as the Centrum
The Bill
The Fleet
The Cage
Not sure I can think of any others, but I feel like there has been.

Great thread-let's see if I can remember them all:
The Cage - numerous times before 1992
Mullins - every game in 92-93 season, 93-94 seasons
Springfield CC - various
89/90 - Temple - A-10 final
90/91 - Smith Center vs. GW, Fordham - NIT, Siena - NIT
92/93? - Providence CC vs. URI , Worcester CC vs. DePaul
93/94 - Madison Square Garden vs. Kansas - preseason NIT final
94/95 - Louisiana Lafayette
95/96 - Georgia Dome - vs. Arkansas, Georgetown
96/7 - Hartford CC - vs. UConn
97/8 - Erwin Center in Austin, TX vs. Texas
00/01 - Spectrum A-10 tourney, vs. Bonnies, St Joes, Temple
02/03? - Smith Center - vs. GW
08/09 - Sprint Center in Kansas City vs. Kansas
The Cage or Mullins Center are by far the best places I've seen UMass play. Most of the places I've seen UMass are fairly sterile, big arenas. There's no comparison to a gym on campus.
The Smith Center is probably my fave after The Cage and Mullins.
For non-UMass games: University of Arkansas or University of Wyoming are my faves. Really want to check out The Pit in Albuquerque sometime.
