Add Illinois and Huff Hall to that list. The men's basketball team played there before Assembly Hall was built. It's got character, but it needs some air conditioning.
Will Wisconsin come after CJL?

And you need to get out more. FYI: CJL has described all of the above venues, refurbished and remodeled for VB, as "outstanding" or "great." Go on, just ask her. Great atmosphere, great home-court advantages for the home team.
I can tell you don't follow NCAA volleyball at all...
One doesn't need to build a monument to title 9 to realize success in woman's athletics.
You ask why i think your respnse is silly: your silly post made a foolish assumption which you elegantly ariculate in your nexr post. It is impossible to eliminate all sports as compliance with federal law is critical, so your assumption is either **** poor or silly.
I would throw Oklahoma in there too as a solid VB venue with McCasland Field House.
They are moving after basketball season is over. The DC will be one of if not the best VB facility in the country.

I'd agree with theshadow in terms of questioning the greatness of some of those facilities. I attended the NCAA matches last year at the UMinn Pavilion and was not impressed at all. Nostalgia only goes so far for atmosphere. I cannot argue with a homecourt advantage. But that doesn't mean it's a great homecourt.
Everyone has their own opinions I guess - but CJL has called Minnesota's arena a "great VB venue."
It may have been after her first or second year here, CJL talked about the perfect VB facility was one that seated roughly 4-5k like a Wisconsin or Minnesota.
I'm with you, I like the old arenas that have been re-purposed into VB facilities. They have character, and create a great home court advantage.
Would it be cool to redo the Armory as a VB facility, yes but the in the end it would most likely be more cost efficient to build a new facility if it were to happen.

Was that volleyball only?
My eyes can not safely bug out any more than that.
Suites for volleyball! That's impressive.
As two people who've been to Devaney more than once, that's one of the most impressive improvements I've ever seen.
From the looks of it, VB only. I'm guessing that wrestling will stay in the NU Coliseum after VB moves out.
A facility like the one at KU would work. The construction does not look overly expensive. We'd probably need double the seating, but it would rock and be a huge home court advantage.
And Wisconsin hires...Kelly Sheffield from Dayton. Looks like a very good choice.
