Just from my experience:

FGCU’s is nice.
I don’t think the Jacksonville men play in Swisher.
Kennesaw is nice
Lipscomb is unusually dark, unless they’ve updated lights.
NJIT is really nice given the tight space. Brand new. Very steeps seats.
Stetson is a dump.

I thought their men played downtown in Jacksonville somewhere.

Swisher is an absolutely crap hole. Worst one on the list.

They played downtown for awhile but they moved back on campus. The did do a modest renovation to the arena. Two large video boards and a store I believe. They also have updated the seating if I remember correctly. It’s really small but it should be decent.

Just saw it on film last night. Behind benches at least is still the same old HS plastic pull-outs. Didn’t have angle to see ends up high for possible video boards, or anything opposite benches.

Wonder if locker rooms are still down stairwell a couple levels below playing floor...

UNAs Flowers is old, but we are proud of it. Just completed a 2mill renovation to it, lost some seating but gained a VIP area for donors and recruits. 2 nice sized video boards. But its basically your classic 2 level old school gym. If plans go the way they want, Big games will be played at a new arena yet to be built (not by the University) and the rest at Flowers.

Thanks for checking in Lion, and congrats on the wins over FGCU and NJIT. Looks like we won't be able to put those 2 games against you guys in the win column just yet. :wink:

The NJIT game surprised me, but we are definitely better than our record. We played a very hard non conference schedule and I think that is helping right now, not to mention the win have come at home. Maybe by the time we play Liberty and Lipscomb, we can at least be competitive.
