Princeton v U of Penn, March 3, 1998

Palestra, Sec 220 Row 2

Took my son to an old building where I once suited up for a CYO game. We got there early when the girls team was playing. The building was still 90% empty, but the bands were playing. My son held his ears from the noise and yelled "Is it going to get any louder then this?" Oh yeah.

This is a classic match up in a classic building. The only other match up/building I could imagine any better in America would be a Carolina/Duke game at Cameron Indoor.

Yes son, it will get louder. Suck it up. The crowd rose to their feet for the tip off.....and never sat again. I tried to stand the boy on a chair but he still could not see the floor. Luckily the guy in front of me realized a kid couldn't see the game. He offered to allow him to stand on his chair and rest his arms on the guy's shoulders. Class guy. For the one horror story you hear about Philadelphia fans there are hundreds of good people in that city.
