The University of Louisville basketball arena debate...
I graduated from U of L, back in 1990, and that was probably the swan song year for the Denny Crum
era. Coach Rick Pitino has elevated the sport of basketball, which U of L has been known for, as far back as I can remember, to the level of competition that inspires the local powers that be to ponder a new facility for the madness. Freedom Hall has been a good place for U of L to call home for 50 years, and I really don't think a new place would be worth the money, but there is much debate about it...
U of L's proposal
