the real allen fieldhouse

here's the real thing...

Named in honor the late Dr. F.C. "Phog" Allen, the Jayhawks' head coach for 39 years, Allen Fieldhouse is labeled by many as one of the best places in America to watch a college basketball game.

The actual playing surface is the James Naismith Court, honoring the inventor of basketball who later established Kansas' basketball program and served as its first coach from 1898 to 1907.

Before the start of every home game, it is tradition to sing the National Anthem, followed by the school alma mater, "Crimson and the Blue"; finally followed by the Rock Chalk Jayhawk Chant.

dennis & i are huge jayhawks' fans! we would someday love to see a game in allen fieldhouse. we were lucky enough to see kansas play here in las vegas in a tournament over a year ago. the energy was amazing! actually, our goal is to attend the ncaa tourney sometime...
