In response to iogyhufi
Heck, in the games that I attended at the Palestra where Yale played Penn, I found the atmosphere underwhelming. That might be why I don't have the same attraction to the Palestra that others do.
This also makes it challenging to attract current Penn students to attend. In my days as a student, you had to camp outside of the Palestra in a line, overnight, for the rights to season tickets (and this was in the 80s, after the true glory years when they were nationally ranked).
But once you're inside the Palestra with a competitive team and a crowd atmosphere to match...you are hooked. I know that I was. I had no previous experience with the Palestra or Penn basketball prior to my freshman year.
