3. Williams Arena, Minnesota. A.k.a. “The Barn,” walking in Williams Arena is like walking back into a black-and-white era. And, it’s awesome. The venue was opened in 1928 and has undergone renovations in 1950, 1993 and 1997, but it’s starting to show its age. And that has some calling for Williams to be razed. If the place can’t be preserved, here’s hoping a new arena is built in its likeness. We don’t need another generic edifice that mimics an NBA arena.

Go Gophers!!
 

Historical value and uniqueness, yes. However, these rankings must not integrate "tough places to play" into the equation.
