The only time I've seen it was for the volleyball national championship, and it was phenomenal.
The new Joe, yes. I recall the MSU, KSU and many Butler games (the Saturday ones, at least) being near capacity, with the MSU game being above capacity, if memory serves. Those were all amazing. The other game I recall is the UIC game in 2003. When David Bailey found Paul McMillian to put us up, the gym was deafening. Of course, that all drained when Ced Banks hit that long 3 to win it for UIC. Still, the atmosphere was great. Tons of students, many locals. A very good time.
I hope that we see that atmosphere on a regular basis. At a minimum, I'm expecting the Joe to be that way against WSU in Feb.
Was the Depaul game in, I think, the first year of the new arena a sell out? I wasn't there, but the pictures looked like it was, or very close.
I remember the MSU game. That was the year following their National Championship, and the place was packed.
