venues. Hearnes definitely had the ability to get loud and imposing for the opposing teams but so does Mizzou Arena. I think a lot of older people have the same sort of attitude towards Mizzou Arena as young people do towards Hearnes.
You are going to be more partial to the arena where you saw meaningful and exciting games.
Both were/are great college arenas when Mizzou is winning and playing good teams. I think a lot of the people who look down at Mizzou Arena do so because of the fact that we've been pretty bad for a lot of those years. 8 of the 13 years in Mizzou Arena have been years we didn't make the NCAA tourney.
