Jackson Southside.

 

yes. their gym is dark and color of the lights are orangey. looks like a gym you'd see in an old timey basketball film.

but i guess thats basically the problem with all these gyms! ...they're way older than any of these good looking gyms. obviously.

Station Camp -- Dark Dark Dark

 

Cookeville -- I hate the way you have to enter the gym. Too much "caution" tape everywhere, very narrow walkway behind the goals with electrical cords taped to the floor. Oh and those one-way spiral staircases!!

Union City ... built all wrong b/c some artsy fartsy politician some 30-plus years ago said the town needed a civic auditorium tacked onto the school. So, they cut it into the gym, which barely seats 1,000 (I don't care what they say) and has never been big enough for sub-state/sectional games. bleachers should have been replaced 10 years ago, maybe 20, and the court is too small, even by junior high standards, with front row so close that people walking to and from their seats during a game actually have to dodge the players on the court. And, oh yeah, to get from upstairs to downstairs and vice versa, you can't just walk up and down a set of steps in the bleachers. You have to go outside the playing area. ... It is not worthy of a 5-time state champion team. It's not even worthy of a bad team. .... Needless to say, I've never liked it.

You are forgetting the fact that these gyms, along with probably every other gym named in this thread, are probably at least 50+ years old.

 

oh i know it. some of these places deff need to some work done. im 2003 when cosby played rockwood in the region championship at MIDWAY that was a sight to see. place may hold 550 packed. there was probly 800 in there. an i did play at cloudland actually that was very small too. old hancock co gym was one of the craziest places to play.

Saw Station Camp tonight and I see what you guys are saying. It seems like the playing surface is off center. The visiting side has minimum seating while the home side goes on forever. Finding the gym reminded me of the old Legend of Zelda video game. You walk around these halls and follow some signs, go through some double doors beside the home bleachers and suddenly there's a basketball game going on right in front of you! That's after you go through the parking lot maze to find the entrance. I thought one of Station Camp's cheerleaders was going through the floor right in front of the scorer's table on the home side. Big dead spot right there for sure. I didn't think the lighting was all that bad.

To go along with the thought of gyms being 50+ years old, let's give a shout out in this thread to Hillwood High School in Nashville. They are the only school that I know of that had to postpone their games last night because the roof in the gym was leaking so badly!

You win. Rained out basketball games trumps everything else. /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

I think parts of this thread has devolved into 'places we don't like to drive to' or 'places where we get our butts beat' rather than the quality of the gym.
