For one game, just one, I would love for the men's team to play in the Fieldhouse. I know it will never happen, but I would have loved to watch a game there - just once. It had to be quite the experience.

It was pretty cool...I was a ball boy there in the 70's for Brandy, and that place would get louder than any venue I have ever been in. The dirt floors were very "Wyoming" and our competitors hated playing there. It was cramped, hot, smelled like old pine bark mixed in with Jack Daniels and Copenhagen.
Dear Karma,
I have a list of people you missed...

Best games I ever saw there were when Wyoming beat BYU with Danny Ainge (who choked and whined a lot) then beat Utah which was in the top 10 the following game.McPeachy wrote: ↑Tue Jun 27, 2023 8:37 amIt was pretty cool...I was a ball boy there in the 70's for Brandy, and that place would get louder than any venue I have ever been in.

You know how some women have RBF (Resting Bitch Face)? Ainge had the same, but it was WCF (Whiney Crybaby Face) - and he had / has the best one of those I have ever seen. That switch was always turned on with Danny Boy.

Here are events I attended in the Field House:
- Circuses
- Rodeos
- College Basketball Games
- UW Symphony / Dept of Dance Elementary School Showcases
- Harlem Globetrotters Shows
- Marching Band rehearsals / Drum corps camps (After the Dome of Doom was built, and they got rid of the dirt floors)

Here was the insane part about basketball games in the field house was that both benches were backed up to the student side. Which put the students about 15 feet away from the vistor's bench, and good lord the sh*t that flew in their directlion...

You forgot to add concerts were held in the fieldhouse as well.
At times we used to also play pick up games on the floor. Candidly it was not that good to play on, lots of odd dead spots and weird feeling when you ran or dribbled. We mostly played at either the Half Acre or gym next to the law school.
