Kean's gym is a beautiful D-III gym, though only about 15 years old, if that. Coincidentally, prior to the final basketball game it hosted, I wrote a historical retrospective on Kean's previous place, D'Angola Gym, which actually did have a decent amount of history, at least relative to that scene.Maybe you can throw Kean in there, they have a nice gym that does a good job with HS tournaments etc and Monmouth has a nice gym, although it's obvious that it's not historical.
No need to waste moneyI'd really like to see the Barn completely renovated at some point. Bring it up to modern standards but keep the old historical charm. Having a good secondary gym is very common with many of our peers. If you have the capacity of 4,000 or so, it would be a great venue for volleyball and maybe gymnastics. I know some of those events are being moved to the Rac but having another gym gives some flexibility and might even create a nice home venue advantage by filling it up rather than competing with a half or less filled Rac.
How did they fit 30,000 people in there and how did they get them all to the game.The Barn had the entire student body turn their back to opposing team during introductions, when their name was called the whole place yelled “who’s he”
would be great to bring that back. Do it at The RAC.The Barn had the entire student body turn their back to opposing team during introductions, when their name was called the whole place yelled “who’s he”
I agreewould be great to bring that back. Do it at The RAC.
HaHaHow did they fit 30,000 people in there and how did they get them all to the game.
I'm pretty sure the actual site of that game was the parking lot behind College Ave. Gym.The Barn is hands down more historic, it is built on the site of the first college football game (the actual birth site) shu alums wouldn’t understand. End of story. So Jerry should go play with some blue balls. 😉 Go RU
I'm surprised at that, too. He's pretty up on Rutgers history.It's debatable I guess but Jerry put no qualifiers in his statement. Didn't say Walsh was "arguably" or "one of" NJ's most historic gyms.
He's the beat writer for both schools.I thought Carino was the rutgers writer. Why is he doing a tour for seton hall?
Not sure how someone can do two beats. Don’t practices , games and road trips overlap . Seems half assed.He's the beat writer for both schools.
lol he's on the road very very often during basketball season. If SHU and RU both have home games then he generally goes to the more marquee matchup. He's all over the place to cover college hoops in Jersey. There are some nits you can pick with his coverage but "half assed" is absolutely not one of them.Not sure how someone can do two beats.

I didn’t say it was his coverage that was half assed. It’s the management decision to have 2 teams and 1 writer that is half assedlol he's on the road very very often during basketball season.

Seems to be apocryphal. This is the way I always understood the story, well prior to the publication of this 2019 piece:Here is the plaque IN THE BARN
Sounds historic
From the article:Seems to be apocryphal. This is the way I always understood the story, well prior to the publication of this 2019 piece:
How the birthplace of college football became a Rutgers University parking lot 150 years later
Probably 'nuff said.From the article:
“The field probably extended to where the gym is now.”
'Nuff said.
Maybe I'm low-class, but I think that's awesome...The Barn had the entire student body turn their back to opposing team during introductions, when their name was called the whole place yelled “who’s he”
