The buzz that exist when you walk in is amazing and I have NEVER heard a louder arena than when Marco dunked to put IU up.....see for yourself on You tube, it will give you goose bumps.kelinSat, 08 Sep 2007 20:08:49 -0000http://www.insidethehall.com/2007/09/06/drew-neitzel-sings-praises-of-assembly-hall/#comment-3856380I would rank Indiana's Assembly Hall above Illinois' Assembly Hall. I've witnessed many great games in the hall and the atmosphere doesn't get much more electric. Even in the balcony the roar of the crowd is deafening, but nothing compares to sitting close to the floor. I don't think there is any other arena in the country where 17,000 fans are more passionate about basketball. Maybe during Davis' final years Illinois had an edge on the Hoosiers, but there were still games where the crowd was so deafening you couldn't even yell at the person next to you. Take for example Ewing Jr. tipping in Bracey's missed free throw against Iowa to send the game to overtime, or Marco's dunk against Duke to put the Hoosiers up at the seven minute mark. Also, at least take into account Knight's time in Bloomington, and the turn around that Sampson gave to the Hoosier fans last season. This coming year will be one of the most electrifying seasons that Assembly Hall has seen in many years and will usher in the true return of Hoosier Hysteria.OnFireSat, 08 Sep 2007 00:50:21 -0000http://www.insidethehall.com/2007/09/06/drew-neitzel-sings-praises-of-assembly-hall/#comment-3856379Neitzel is a class act and so Izzo and Michigan State.

I'm kidding (kind of) but still a good read as it nice to know that others feel energy when they come into town.ZappatistaThu, 06 Sep 2007 12:27:24 -0000
