    In Philly - Should I go to the Palestra?

    I'm in Philly for the night. Is it worth heading down to the Palestra to see LaSalle vs Penn?

    Yes, yes and YES!

    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.

    Well that was fun. I sat in the third row behind the LaSalle bench. Took some time before the game to walk around and read the info in the concourses.
    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.
