Memorial gym

For anyone with experience, Are the upper level baseline seats any good?

 

[Rockytop10nessee]

garbage arena... you can get decent seats on the baselines, and youre right behind the players unless theyve changed something in the last few years.

No. You might have to lean over to look around a corner if you're at the very top

Second this. Have sat right behind the Vols bench the last few years there and just bought tickets to be in the same spot Saturday. Great view.

I played in a high school tournament there back in the 60’s.
The strangest arena I have ever played in. You
feel like you are up on a stage and the background
behind the backboard is very difficult to adjust to.

Glad I never had to play there. The drop around the edge seems like an unnerving obstacle.

I slid into a pile of coats that kept me from going over the edge !

Stay home and watch on tv

cheap seats...expensive tickets.

The last time I went to a game there—I believe it was 2010—I sat next to a woman who almost certainly didn't go to Vanderbilt, but she made sure to say about 10 times (not at me, but loud enough for me to hear very easily) that the entire UT student body couldn't collectively get a 32 on the ACT.

Crappy eyesore.

Worst gym I’ve ever been to in my entire life

Ever been to a game in Stokely? You learn to cope.

We should pack this place Saturday after what happened last year there and be loud!!

We bought 6 tickets today off Vandy site for reasonable prices we thought.

We need more ORANGE in there!

Memorial Gymnasium is considered to be the best SEC arena to shoot at, per former SEC players and coaches.

That’s because you are playing Vandy.

 

[driscokid]

Stokley or Alumni Gym would be better than that craphole

Worst arena in the SEC or any other major conference

 

[VolDomination]

For me as I have gotten older an OLED TV, fridge and a bathroom 15 feet away with no lines is hard to beat.

 

[PandamoniumReigns]

Remember that time Vandy didn't make a three?

Good Times.

Haven’t looked it up, but I feel like Lofton had good games there. I know he hit one from dang near half court with his eyes closed, while fighting cancer, while holding a glass of sweet tea in his hand.

However, Vandy has had some decent teams in the past. Way past.

I actually had forgotten. Haha

Went to a rally to send the Vols off to the Sweet 16 at Stokely. Bruce Pearl flat out looked at and walked by my 7 year old nephew, who was holding out his hand and a picture to sign, and then he saw a WATE camera and the charm came on. True story. That’s not everyone’s experience, but it was ours.

I wouldn't pay more than 100 to sit up top. Being around so much orange will be worth it the bad seats. I grew up in Nashville and have been to a good 40 games there. Can't believe it's been 5 years but I was there when Grant Williams if memory serves me right went 21 of 22 from the FT when UT was #1 and won in OT. One of my favorite basketball memories.

23 for 23. 43 total points. UT won in OT.
