3. Williams Arena, Minnesota
The oldest arena in the Big Ten, Williams Arena gets the best marks in the Big Ten for architecture.
The epitome of the "old barn" style of arena, Williams has an incredibly high ceiling in a rectangle-shaped building. Its raised floor is one of the most unique basketball arena atmospheres in the Big Ten, and the building as a whole has an old school feel without being dumpy.
Now if the Gophers could just win a few more games and draw a bit more interest in a town with plenty of other entertainment options, the old barn could rival Assembly Hall in terms of atmosphere. As of right now, that isn't happening. But if we were judging arenas based on just the buildings, Williams would be at the top.
