ODU's arena is the nicest college basketball arena I've ever been in.
That is perhaps the most uniformed list I've ever seen. VCU, JMU and UNCW are all ahead of ODU's Ted Constant Center which checks in at #184. I'm not saying ODU should be #1 but only a true fool would list the Siegel Center which is basically COSTCO ahead of the Ted Constant Center.
JMU??? Small, old, and a court that looks like it was designed by Salvador Dali,
Did Pav compile this list by any chance?
I will take TED anyday over JMU and VCU arenas.

Stunned where some of the most beloved/famous arenas are ranked. None out of Palestra, Assembly Hall, Hinkle or Cameron Indoor made the top 20, much less top ten. That is suspect.
Hell the Phog didn't even crack the top five.
I think most WKU fans sometime forget how good we have it, but I guess the constant complaining by WKU fans only show what level program we desire to be

Yeah, the list is a joke to me. I'm not saying Bartow is anywhere near the best arena in college basketball, but 180 something is ridiculous. The guy who did the write up for it made it seem like Bartow is in the middle of the ghetto. If that's the case, I need to go show him what the ghetto looks like.
Wow, that's a really awful list. JMU and VCU ahead of ODU's Ted?
what an absolutely worthless list...had to laugh at some of those rankings.
This is so subjective I wouldn't be very concerned where your schools arena is ranked. I mean they have Rupp first that says it all to me The Yum Center is so much nicer than Rupp.

Yes, Cameron Indoor not in the top 5, Phog Allen at 6th, very suspect.

The compiler of this list probably paid a visit to the Ted during a game at which Bobby Hollywood was given access to a microphone.
That would drop any venue a good hundred points or so.
This means what?
TED CONSTANT CENTER RANKS TOP 10 IN WORLD
The Ted Constant Convocation Center recently accomplished a huge milestone in the brief 10 year history of the facility. Operated by Global Spectrum, the Constant Center is known as one of the premier mid-sized collegiate venues in the country. According to Pollstar’s 2011 year end rankings, the

Read the write up on Minges, I think we had the dumbest person do the review they could find. He seemed to think we had only two concession stands in the whole arena. No, their are 4 larger one up stairs where most of the sit and there are two more that are opened if we go over 7,000.
Sorry, dyslexia, fixed I hope.

I dont even have to read the list to know its garbage if thats the case. Even their fans would tell you ODU has one of the nicest in the country and was easily the nicest in the state until UVA built their new place. Its been voted the best arena of its size, yes, number 1 in the country, a couple of times. Worthless list.
Stadium Journey is garbage.
Oh, the guy reviewing Minges complained about parking, was the Memphis last year during the construction of the Practice Facility which affected parking. But, had he gone to our web-site he would have seen we open the White lot on the other side the arena. Blamed us for having the visitors right next to the students, well by CUSA rules we have to put them there. Said we were ugly torward their fans, that's a flat out lie, I know I was there. I was in that middle section, they didn't like us razing Pastner, T. black, and Joe Jackson.
What is garbage about this site, is it's more about what there is to do around stadium and not the stadium it self. Also, a single person review on a single trip is garbage.
Somehow, both Alcorn and Jackson State are ranked well ahead of USM (292, seriously?).

Cameron is a nicely polished dump. The bathrooms are one step above port-a-pottys. To get to your seats in the lower section you have to walk across the floor--so don't even think about going to get a drink during the game. Rows A-K on the non-student side are bleachers and you cannot sit on row K because it is flush against the upper section wall so it is standing only. The TV box is hanging from the ceiling and you cannot stand up in it. Cameron looks nice on TV, but it really is not. Call it historic, legendary, and a tough place to play, but do not call it a nice arena.
