Pit (University of New Mexico)

reviewed by munificent_dan

The Pit opened in 1966 and is one of college basketballs most unique facilities. The Pit has undergone several renovations and has a seating capacity of over 18,000.

Pit (University of New Mexico) 5

I definately feel that the PIT it number one. Just think of the games in the pit . first Jerry Valvano's famous victory over Houston, Second the victeries that tho Lobos excelled at at over the number 1 rated University of Arizona. Thirdly the mind blowing games that involved teams of national prominence. Fouthly the intimate connection of the fans in the arena like no other arena offers. I chaalenge any college basketball fan to provide a better venus than the pit. Unfortunately for me I have never had the priviledge of personally attending a game in the PIT, but no other atmosphere transcended the feeling and excitement than games in the PIT. I now live in New Mexico, bit I have not yet purchased season tickets for Loboo men's or women's basketball, but bel;ieve me as a San diego native I will. San Diego satate has a nice facility, however there is no atmospher like the pit. Please, I defy you to prove differently to me.

I'm a UNM graduate yet I must say that games at the Pan American Center at NMSU are far more exciting and loud than the Pit. The Pit is crowded, dungy, has tight bleacher seats with no leg room and they always exagerate the attendance.The so called 6th man in the Pit is now averaging 70 years of age. UNM needs a new facility.
