I just returned from the HUGE Grand Canyon win over San Diego State, and once again it was an incredible atmosphere! The student section was absolutely rocking from 30 minutes before tipoff to the court rush. They don’t let up at all and most of the non students are rocking too!
What you see on TV during the game is probably the least impressive part of the experience, it’s the 15 minutes leading to opening tip and the party like atmosphere during each timeout.
I’m up to 27 different D1 college basketball arenas and GCU remains firmly at #3 in my rankings of best atmospheres behind only Duke and KU.
I can pretty much guarantee I was the only Gopher fan at the game who rushed the court tonight!
Go College Basketball!!
