What a dump! Hate that building. Should have used the Forum. Something not so close to 'SC.

The Forum is also under renovation to become a concert venue. It is not available either. Very tough choices, so the Sports Arena is it. I am much more interested in the product on the court than the building. Please give us something to cheer for Bruins!

Ugh, Sports Arena... Do you know how many games I've seen the Clippers lose in that building? :( LOL

You youngsters don't remember the good old days before Pauley was built, when the Bruins and trojans used to play doubleheaders on Fri. and Sat. nights against the visiting (often conference) team, switching opponents. It was a lot of fun sitting amongst fans of both teams with a lot of (mostly) friendly give and take. Seats were first come, first served, so if you got there early enough you could be courtside for both games.

Damn Big Woof! Great story! Was that when you rode a horse and buggy to the games...or were you still ducking saber tooth tigers running from cave to cave with a club!?!? Go Bruins!

Funny! I think I did sit next to Fred Flintstone a couple of times, or was it Alley Oop?

Seriously, I used to park my car on the street for free within 2 blocks and never felt unsafe. The Sports Arena was a pretty modern new place in those days.

Is the court going to be in UCLA blue & gold or the Sports Arena logo? Atleast make it look like the Bruins are playing on a home floor.

I can't wait to invade trOJan territory, that building will see more victories by the home team in one season than it did in the past 30 years combined.
