Attended the UCF versus Auburn men's basketball game. It was phenomenal as the Jungle was at its best. Bruce Pearl and his coaching staff kept the team pumped with the crowd. The arena is fantastic! It holds the noise and intimidates the opponent. Amenities are tops, from the variety of food and drink, to restrooms, to memorabilia. Parking is not difficult. Entering and exiting the arena is about as easy as it gets.
We were blessed with scholarship seating so everyone got to enjoy catered pulled pork, green beans, mac & cheese, a desert that closely resembled banana pudding, buttered popcorn, soft drinks, bottled water and ice cream treats. Even got to see several of the football players and get a picture with Tank Bigsby. The boys were really excited all evening and still talking about it.
If you're in Auburn and have the opportunity, check out the arena and take in a game. If it's men's basketball, be prepared to participate in rocking the house with the jungle! AUsome...

There is a team store located in the building and a "hall of fame" of sorts to...
Read moreI'm a Florida Gators fan that just randomly decided to go see Auburn take on LSU in Gymnastics. I could make the round trip to Auburn in the same amount of time it took one way from my house to Gainesville. I had seen Suni and her teammates compete on TV, but the television coverage fails to show how electric the atmosphere is here. I was impressed. The sight lines are great. Even from the general admission area, you never feel like you're that far from the action on the floor. I'd definitely be willing to come...
