dbadefense1990 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Sleepover at EnergySolutions ArenaIf I wanted to take a nap at an NBA game this year, I'd watch the Lakers and hope that this season is just a nightmare for me to wake up from.

Ant-LOX Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Veterans Stadium, intermission between a double header (My brother and I had no idea it was one, spent about 7 hours in the stadium).Note, we are seated at the very top of the stadium in the last row. Nowadays, these areas would be roped off, or tarped off during a game. But General Admission was a free for all.Still remember the many walks up this ramp to games. I'd stop and read the Commemorative Veterans plaque every single time. The plaque now hangs on a Veterans Stadium/ Veterans Memorial on the way to Citizens Bank Park, thankfully, so that tradition still lives on.A view of the future Citizens Bank Park from Veterans Stadium. From this angle, I'd be floating in air, above the parking lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoughRiders99 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Not sure if this has been posted yet or not, but the Canisus's sports complex in Buffalo, NY. As you can see, they have a softball, baseball, soccer, lacrosse AND probably football field all on one turf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njmeadowlanders Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 not sure if posted but Beverly Hills High's gym hosts basketball and....swimmingWhen I played high school volleyball Bloomfield High in Bloomfield NJ had their court in a long-since discontinued indoor pool gymnasium. Very tight sidelines and low ceilings but it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Not sure if this has been posted yet or not, but the Canisus's sports complex in Buffalo, NY. As you can see, they have a softball, baseball, soccer, lacrosse AND probably football field all on one turf. Good call dude! I attended summer lacrosse camp there years ago (summer of 94/95 methinks) and let me tell you, that stadium sucks! The turf is bald and closer to sandpaper than grass. We had to move these barricades around the perimeter of the baseball field to create a rectangle and well, I mean that's about it I guess.Also saw Bill Clinton and Al Gore speak at the very same stadium during their 1992 campaign.MEMORIES!!!

Sport Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Crew Stadium hosts a ton of high school games. I also saw the Bengals practice there during training camp one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I'm surprised that Villanova would agree to have a game at PPL park, considering its location and their fan base. They must have gotten a sweet deal.Also, no love for the multi-purpose Viking Hall / ECW Arena? Friday afternoons = bingo hall for the whole family, Friday nights = hardcore extreme rules barbed-wire death match. Doesn't get much more multi-purpose than that!
