I spent a few days in Knoxville this summer where our granddaughter was participating in Destination Imagination. Several events needed the capacity of Tennessee's Thompson-Boling basketball arena.

Wow! What a facility! And based on the pictures on the walls, banners and such, it's pretty clear that the place was"built by the Lady Vols".

I was so impressed by the size of the place that when I got home I made some comparisons with my favorite, the University of Michigan. What is as amazing is that the entire Crisler Arena in Ann Arbor, from top to bottom and including the outside concrete walkways around Crisler would fit inside the arena at Tennessee. I mean inside the arena portion, not just inside the building itself. Amazing. And a real tribute to Pat Summit and the ladies who have played in the orange and white.

How tough is it to get a ticket to the Lady Vol games?
