I am not a big one on sports but I think the newly updated Savage Arena of the Univ. of Toledo is pretty decent.

Why does their floor look like a big H from above?
Definitely worth the time to catch a game in Cameron Indoor Stadium if you get the chance. I was lucky to see two games there. Incredible! Words simply can't describe it and TV does not do it justice.
Also, a game at Hinkle is well worth the time. Just a classic venue.
My guess is that at least one would end up making the list (Cameron is almost a guarantee).
Word Verification: Moogeter.....must be a cattle farmer.
Hey Sven!!! Glad to know they updated Savage...and happy to know it's still called Savage. He was president when I was a Rocket.
Also, Chemguy - worst place to watch a baseball game (at least from the seats we had that day) Comerica Park in Detroit.
Side note, they are closing the Wigwam http://www.wane.com/dpp/news/indiana/Anderson%27s-%22Wigwam%22-to-close .
I think if I had to vote I would flip Seymour to second instead of third. I find the seats totally uncomfortable, but I have such good memories of Lewis Scott gym they trump the seats. Besides as Terry Fleishman said, I never sat down the 3 years of high school there.
Smamy - Cameron and Hinkle are both on the list to be seen at some point. I've been in both when there's no game going on.
Calen - Comerica did suck. Having the seats aimed toward center field isn't a good choice, and the fact that it's in Detroit doesn't help.
Ame - Seymour is pretty frickin' cool, yeah, but I was amazed at how much I enjoyed Southport. Sorry to hear that the Wigwam closed, but I was happy to have gotten there before it did.
