Every time I watch a Dream home game I feel bad for how much it feels like they’re in a fancy high school gym

My alum ( Florida Atlantic University) has a small arena too and everyone online talks shit about how it's a high school gym too. It's honestly one of the best environments to be at though because it gets extremely loud and hot, which also disrupts the opposing teams. The broadcasts are horrible to watch because all you can hear is the bleachers banging and the student section jumping and screaming, which makes up almost half of the 4000 capacity. If they were to upgrade it would most definitely not be anywhere near capacity and feel like a shell of its former self.

I get the same feelings going to mystics games. Though I currently have a bone to pick with their security.
