MSG has (had?) half-gallon mugs of beer with the BigEast logo on them. THAT'S pretty special.

I did 4 BE tourneys- all the games, plus a number of other games, the NIT finals, . I've also done 6 ACC tourneys, 2 PACTEN and 2 B1G tourneys and I see little difference in atmosphere, other than MSG is darker. The fans at the ACC and B1G were louder. The PACTEN were more laid back and cheerleaders were knock outs. My memory of MSG was walking down the street smelling urine, sorry homers. There is nothing to like around MSG for 90% of the country. But you haven't done a Mountain West tournament so how can you really compare them all. You're right that only NYC cares for MSG. It's not like the ACC has hopes of kicking the BE out of MSG so they can host their conference tournament there.

On the other hand, NYC, for better or for worse is the media capital of the world. MSG is, again for better or worse, the world's (or at least the US's) most famous arena. Top teams play there. And, at least with respect to college basketball, pretty much ONLY top teams. And this is not even mentioning the fact that MSG is inexorably tied to the tradition and greatness that is (or was) the Big East. I Glad you remembered St. John's when you were talking about what type of college basketball teams play at MSG. Zing!
