Arenas of the NIT

As the Hokies prep to play their home game against Princeton, I thought it would be fun to give a snapshot of each team's home arena just to see how we measure up. It's unlikely that we'll see most of them (especially the lower seeds), but this is just to show the variety of arenas across the county. For the sake of this post, I'll do them in the order teams appear in the brackets (1-8 for each quadrant). HERE. WE. GO!

1. Monmouth - Multipurpose Activity Center - 4,100

2. Florida - O'Connell Center - 11,548

3. Ohio State - Value City Arena at The Jerome Schottenstein Center - 18,809

Whew. 32 different arenas... Having not visited many of them, I'm unsure if that's what all of them look like in 2016 but hey, Google can't always help that. Enjoy!

I told him I’d crawl on my hands and knees to be the DL coach at Virginia Tech. Now, all of a sudden, I’m sitting in this chair and I told him I’d still crawl on my hands and knees to work here. I just want to be here.
