this read really proves the magazine knows nothing of sports. i have been to joe louis, shea, and mellon and they are truly a dump, but cameron?? come on..though it's old the atmosphere is awesome.

I didn't read that article so I don't know what the criteria was but if they are going by the facility alone, cameron really is a dump. I was there just for a volleyball game when we were in the tournament like 4 or 5 years ago. Not only was it old but it didn't seem all that well kept. The seating sucked and it was impossible to find a bathroom. I'm sure the basketball atmosphere is good though.

I was there for that as well...but keep in mind, that place was pretty empty for that game...when it's jam packed with no room it changes the whole look of it
