I will say it was cool to be part of the UK/UL game in New Orleans two seasons ago. That was crazy.

 

I wouldn't have expected anything less.

Not a fan of outdoor games. (See: Florida Gators vs. Georgetown basketball game cancelled after first half due safety issues | Tampa Bay Times)

 

I think having it on each's team's home floor on a rotating basis just adds to the rivalry. Teams have a home court advantage, and in years where one team is better than the other, there is still a good chance that the game won't be a blow-out. That's just what rivalries are about.

 

Think of what the rivalry means in general (i.e., bragging rights, the nation watching in a prime tv slot), and fitting a few 1,000 more people into an awkwardly configured arena with health and safety issues for the players just isn't as feasible).

 

I would never prefer an outdoor game... Just stating that if it were to ever happen, these two fan bases would easily sell out either stadium.
