STADIUM
JOURNEY

Moody Coliseum has all the modern accessories that fans enjoy, but what really makes Moody Coliseum special is the intimate feel of its basketball gymnasium.

Rugby League is set to make a grand return to Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, on February 28, 2026. This momentous event represents a significant milestone for the sport in the United States, showcasing the growing popularity of rugby in a vibrant market.

The Eblen Center’s exterior has a subtle coliseum feel, with brick construction and large glass entrances. Inside, however, the court area feels more modern, featuring a seating bowl made entirely of padded black seats that complement the school’s purple-and-gold color scheme.

If there is anything else I’d like to say about the arena is this: even if you aren’t a huge fan of hockey, go at least once to a game at Bird Ice Arena. It is a staple of the Athens community and makes for an entertaining experience on any given night of the week. 

The Dedmon Center is an architecturally unique arena. Attending a Radford basketball game feels like watching basketball in a giant tent, with a fabric roof overhead, and giant curtains on the sides. The unusual setup ensures this doesn't just feel like some generic arena as many other places do, and the pregame introductions try to set the stage, but there is so much more potential here if Radford would draw better crowds.
