Here, I have complied a list of all NCAA college basketball arenas that I have visited, and ranked them from worst to best.
Arena information includes name, location, tenant, year opened, year closed (applicable), times visited and first visit. This list will be updated with each new arena visited.
The arenas are divided into two categories: on-campus venues and off-campus/neutral venues. Enjoy!
