(via mathplourde) The Spectrum in Philadelphia was the site of one of the most memorable games in NCAA tournament history, Kentucky vs. Duke in the 1992 East Regionals.

Jon Scott has added a follow-on to his original article about historic arenas to include some of the more modern sites that figure importantly in Kentucky history.

As before, the article is locate at his site at http://www.bigbluehistory.net.  Follow the link above to get straight to Jon's article without having to navigate the site.

In this part, Jon takes us on a tour of the great arenas where Kentucky has played in more recent times, such as Riverfront Coliseum in Cincinnati, The Alamodome in San Antonio, The Spectrum in Philadelphia and many, many others.  John includes commentary about why these arenas are important to Kentucky basketball history.

As always, enjoy, and thanks to Jon Scott for the hard work on Wildcat history.

[Editor's note:  I thought this would be a nice break from the Three Days of Bledsoe.]
