That would explain why it looks like one from the outside. I suppose I didn’t commit to long term memory the aberration I was seeing.
It is, and it looks like a broken down warehouse from the back.

And? So?
People actually think this is an attractive building?

I’m on Gutter’s side. The ingress/egress is terrible along with the parking. When the pandemic is over, a new, more convenient building should be built. More capacity than Rupp.

I would put it out on 1500 Road with a view of the Kaw with a connected convention hall/hotel.

The walk in from where you park is part of the experience. Islamic center is our go to. That or a students driveway and pay them with a case of beer.

Or, dont be cheap and pay the $50 or whatever it is to park in the lot right by AFH.

Dude. The walk up Naismith is second to none. Just kind of appears depending on how you walk in. Just great. The moment you open the doors it’s an entirely different building.

And even before that - seeing the fans lined up in the thousands.
I just park in the Lied center and walk down.
Walk back up feels invigorating after you've been in Allen for 3 hours.

always felt the same about the walk....it is nice to arrive freezing cold because itll be hot as shit for the 3hrs in AFH....and then it feels good to leave hot and cool off on the walk to the car. Especially if i am driving 345ish miles/5ish hrs back to IL.

Any talk of “replacing the Phog” should get an automatic ban.

Would remind me of my freshman year at KU living in Ellsworth.
