I still remember my first game in Section 205, row 1. I remember getting courtside seats when I was 13 and how excited I was to see Oregon vs Stanford from the floor, even if one of the Stanford guys landed in my lap. However, I think this move to Matt court is necessary. One chapter comes to an end and another begins. I'll miss Mac court but I wont cry over it. I'm excited for a new era in Oregon Basketball. I'm excited for more than 2 men's room, I'm excited for cup holders, I'm excited for extra leg room (6'3), I'm excited for hot water in the bathrooms, and most of all unobstructed views!

I have no emotional attachment to The Pit, I have no true good memories there. I know for a fact that most people do, but unfortunately I am not one of them. That said, I couldn't be more excited to move into a state of the art arena.

I kind of agree with you that it is old and it will be SWEET to see the new place. A new arena is also an excellent recruiting tool, which is part of the overall plan I'm sure. As for the inner city kids and the History Channel thing, I'm sure you could have come up with a better analogy that wouldn't distract from your point. Dear UOSD,

I'm in my second year at UO as well, and this is about how I feel. Mac Court will be missed, and deservedly so, but I won't be doing much of the missing. And that's what I took as the point of this post: anyone for whom the past two years are most or all of their Mac Court experience doesn't have all that many good memories there. (Okay, that's a bit of a lie in my case; volleyball this year winning its first match against Stanford since '89 was pretty awesome.) That includes out-of-staters, of course, but also any freshmen or sophomores who hadn't been to many live games before enrolling. Now that the site’s loading for me, I can post this here…

But, you have a lot of Oregon history to learn. This building is more meaningful than your two years of experience at UO can let you comprehend. When you aren't very informed on a certain topic, its best not to discuss it. Because you make yourself look foolish talking about your memories of the past two years and your slightly racist analogy of "inner-city" kids and the history channel.

You said: "Honestly, my greatest memory from The Pit was when we beat Oregon State for our first conference win (in MARCH) and stormed the court in pity celebration." You are a moron, Oregon's first Pac-10 win last year was against Stanford and was in FEBRUARY! Quit trying to appear like you are an expert when you can't even get one simple fact straight. Shouldn't have been that tough considering there were only 2 conference wins last year at Mac Court. Get out of here and quit your blog. Let someone who actually knows some stuff do the reporting...I mean blogging (when someone says they are a blogger, that's code for "I would like to be a journalist but nobody will pay me and I have an excuse for not fact-checking").
