Classic Historical building. Make sure you walk all around the concourse.
I went there about 10 years ago when Xavier beat Saint Joe's at the Palestra. I forgot to give myself the guided tour of the concourse, though.Quote:

Proof I was there (see blue running man shirt behind the bench): http://www.pennathletics.com/news/20...-la-salle.aspx
The game wasn't heavily attended and there were no streamers but you can tell it's a special place. A couple times I got a similar vibe as I have at Wrigley.
I recommend any basketball fan visit if you have a chance.
