have not been to many road locations - Army, Brown, BU (The Roof), Harvard, TD Garden, maybe one or 2 others - but for those of you trying to remember ... At the end of the All-Time Results linked on the HC website, there is a list of all the neutral site locations HC has played - there have been 94 of them over the years. Appears to be current thru the 2018-19 season. You may see some tournaments & locations there to jog your memory and you can review the schedules as well and may run across a game you forgot you attended. www.goholycross.com/fls/33100/sports/m-basketball/archives/results.pdf?DB_OEM_ID=33100

I'll start with mine: Away Gyms Army (Crystl Arenal) -- just about every year since I graduated, highlighted by our PL semi upset win during our "five games in March" '16 run. Navy (Alumni Hall) -- January 2019, last second loss Lafayette (Kirby Sports Complex) -- conference opener in January 2008, a loss Lehigh (Stabler Arena) - Sat next to HC92 for the Patriot League Championship in 2016!! Harvard (Lavietes Pavillion) - Thanksgiving Week loss my junior year, 30 points for Jeremy Lin Syracuse (Carrier Dome) - lost 72-48 on Black Friday 2014 Fairfield (Harbor Yards) - saw a game at Harbor Yards on a weeknight 2013 or 2014-ish, don't even remember who won. Fairfield (Alumni Hall) - think we lost but don't remember again. Sell out crowd. Sacred Heart (Pitt Rec Center) - Saw us lose here once (and met Bobby V) and also get a win after blowing an 18-point lead in November or December 2012 Columbia (Levien Gym) - Blew 15-point halftime lead in a loss during 12-13 season UMASS (Mullins Center) - we lost in Amherst in early December 2008 American (Bender Arena) - saw us lost in the Patriot League Championship game in '09. SOV was there. 23 hour round trip on student fan bus Siena (Times Union Center) - saw us lose in overtime after Tim Clifford almost single-handedly erased an eight point deficit in final minute Neutral Sites TD Garden - lost to Harvard in the 13-14 opener. The following year MB got the W against a RANKED Harvard team. Mohegan Sun - We beat CCSU in the second game of a double-header highlighted by URI-Oklahoma State in the opener DCU Center - Attended games against Dayton (L), UMASS (L) and Boston College (W)
With your track record, please stay home

Hasn't been listed yet and I never went, but find it hard to believe no one has listed The Showplace Arena in Upper Marlboro, MD site of the PL Tournament 2002, 2003, & 2004.
Of course, maybe you want to forget the horse barn!
And did anyone go to St. Joe's in 2005 for the second round NIT game?

8485, I thought you were gainfully employed? And today is not Columbus/Indigenous People Day, so I doubt you had the day off.
Did all this on your lunch hour? I am impressed!

Thanks for collating that CHC84. Mostly parochial here with a few sojourns here and there. Farthest: Columbus Nearest: Pizzatola.
Using your numbered system, places I've seen HC play: 20,22, 23, 24, 25, 27, 28, 30, 33, 34, 46, 53, 71, 78 and 80.
Seen a non-HC game at: 3, 4 32, 41, 42, 43, 59, 79 and 81.
Couple of notes: BU-HC have played at 3 different venues there, no? Confusing myself (not new) but is The Roof the Case Center? They also played in their old hockey arena for a few years too. Dartmouth also played in their hockey arena for a few years in the 70s too...went to a Dartmouth-Princeton game there in I think 1977.

The only unique place I can contribute is the on-campus gym at Xavier in Cincinnati. December 1981 if my memory is intact.

All of them?) 51 St. Peter's (Jersey City Armor) I saw HC Play Seton Hall in the Walsch Center (on campus) and in the old Meadowlands. I also saw them play St Peter's in Jersey City

Confusing myself (not new) but is The Roof the Case Center? Case is the more proper name. The Roof is more of a widely used nickname

An interesting corollary question could be: What are the states HC has never played a basketball game in?
I haven't done the research lol....just throwing it out there. I don't think it would be too many...probably mostly Big Sky country, Alaska etc.

So much to catch up on since lunch time ... hchoops - Geez, who do you think you are bison137 counting scouting as attending an HC game! (I kid ... both of you) sader 1970 - Yes, I am still gainfully employed. Started the work last night finished it off at lunch. Copy & paste into excel is a powerful & quick. hc87 - Case vs. Roof. What Tom said. The old BU hockey rink (Walter Brown Arena) is in the same building as Case. Are you saying they played on a court on top of the ice at Walter Brown Arena? Everybody else - will add to the master list and post later. Will also try to look up as many arena names as possible.

We actually didn't do too many road games on WCHC in hoop...a couple local ones, the MAAC Tourney at the Meadowlands....made the final surprisingly. Hard to do on weekdays etc. We did do all the football games home and away....good excuse to road trip
