Love how there is thread on phog.net about guys being butt hurt over ESPN calling Gallagher-Iba a historic arena, like it's a slight to AFH...newsflash there fellas, it's not even original in your own state. It was a copy of Ahearn built 4 years before it.
You want to piss off your KU acquaintances tell them the (true) story of how Allen Fieldhouse you know the "cathedral of basketball" was a copy of Ahearn. I'm not sure that many of our fans realize this. I know we were stupid and traded it for Bramlage but history is that. It still stands as truth...Ahearn was first and their look of shock when you show them pictures is awesome, you can just see the wheels turn in their small brains.
