That looks awesome.

Felix Event Center (Azusa Pacific). Been awhile since it was this full, but when it is, look out.

I've always been curious, what's the fan support like for APU?

Arkansas Tech - Tucker Coliseum

The Dome can be deafening.

That's really cool. I tried to look up some history on it, why was it built with that oval shape? Any particular reason?

Anyway, that place makes me think of a cross between the Cow Palace and the Bakersfield Dome.

Rockhurst

That's different.

It looks like somebody built a mini-hockey rink in the basement of a church. That's the feeling I get, anyway.

I was just plugging in random D2 schools into Google and came across Mississippi College's A E Wood Coliseum

I didn't include it because it's under construction, but the renderings for Southern Indiana's basketball arena... holy cow.

I love old gyms and it's old. There is barely room around the court for the benches/space to inbound.

Re: Div. II Arena Appreciation/Discussion

This post will be a bit different. Feel free to include any oddball courts like these:

Sanford Center - Bemidji State University, Bemidji MN

-The Sanford Center is the home of Beaver Hockey, but they also have a basketball court for when the Harlem Globetrotters come to town. BSU has played in this arena in the past, so I figured I'd include it here:



AMSOIL Arena in Duluth, MN (home to Bulldog Hockey) sold their court. Now they rent Bemidji's when they need too. Here's a photo of the Bemidji court in Duluth. I wouldn't be surprised if the Bulldogs have played here in the past, although I'm not positive they have:



Memorial Auditorium - Concordia College - Moorhead, Minnesota State University - Moorhead, Moorhead MN:

This arena is near the top of my want-to-visit arenas. It's primary home is to Concordia College, however MSUM claims it as home once a year during the matchup between the two schools.:
