Pinnacle Bank Arena Turns 10

[HuskerFever]

Believe it or not, it's been 10 years since Pinnacle Bank Arena has been operating. Ten years ago today, graduation commencements were taking place. Then concerts. And eventually Husker Hoops.

 

Given the occasion, does anybody have any memories at PBA that really stand out for them?

That time I went to the Ohio State game in 2014 and got a last minute ticket to sit in the visitor's section right behind the OSU bench and was mercilessly and drunkenly giving Aaron Craft all kinds of shit stands out.  It's very possible that his family was there and heard every word, LOL.

 

That win started the streak that eventually got us into the NCAA tournament.

I took my daughter to her first Husker basketball game at PBA where she caught a Cam Mack launched arrow in the 300 section!

 

Lol— really though, it was her first Husker sporting event period.  Loves the cheerleaders, loves Little Red, and loves the concessions.

Watching Tim Miles walk out one last time to Center Court after beating Butler & shouting “GO Big Red”…!!!

For me it was just going to a couple games the 1st year it opened. Haven't been back since. Damn it's been a decade. My wife(then girlfriend)and I planned a whole trip around coming back to Nebraska to see two games. A Wednesday/Saturday sequence. It was the first time she had been to Nebraska in Winter. The 2nd time total. It was January. She was born and raised in Southern Cal. Was prepping her about the brutal winters. Was mildly excited to see her reaction to a frigid Nebraska winter day. It was in the 60's the whole time we were there. An unexpected warm front. Only time I've been disappointed about a warm Nebraska winter day

3 that stand out to me:

Opening game vs FGC

No sit Sunday

The comeback vs Iowa

Most of my biggest memories of PBA do not involve Husker hoops.

Man it's hard to remember just one as far as Husker Hoops go - I just generally remember how great of a job Tim Miles did in turning that place into a nightmare for opposing teams, very quickly. Also always remember the pre-game introduction video Copeland's final year that was sick "Welcome to the Party." 

 

For me personally, I've gotten to coach there and been to some great concerts.

Being a Lincolnite for only one year, my list of events at PBA is rather small. With that said, Maryland game last year was awesome

Tommy Lee and the UNL drum line.

NCAA wins streak at home 

No sit Sunday

 

Husker buddies (before they moved it to Hendricks) and my son played knock out on the court and dribbled against players

Thought I would revive this thread with a "rumor" I heard this week.  We will be seeing a new floor in the arena next season.

30-5 in the last two seasons at home and they want to risk a good thing? After all this talk of having an advantage of a good home court?

Wouldn't 2021-22 be a crisp 1-9 at home in the B1G, since that team won 3 straight road games at the end of that year to finish 4-16 in the Big Ten....

It would be sorta cool if they provided fans with a few court designs, and there could be vote.  Regardless, it will be a conservative new design.  Expect the center court to be blessed with a block N instead of the State.  Then again, perhaps that could change with the departure of a certain ex-AD.
