Campbell hall was not great the two times I saw them this summer. De la salle always likes to play the biggest name out of area team.
St Joe or Modesto would be teams they meet in the playoffs. Probably don't want to play them twice. Modesto beat st Joe's at MLK then lost in playoffs to them.
Sure hope so... I don't know if the updated gym at DVC has any more seats than DLS, haven't seen it yet.
If affects the paparazzi and buzz about the game but not much else. CH has multiple d1 guards and should be a good game.
For several years DLS hosted the MLK at Cal's Haas Pavilion. Anybody know why that venue was discontinued ? Based on the projected scheduling that would seem to be a perfect site (not to mention that it is 15 minutes from my front door -by car)
Plus it was held at St. Mary’s College for a number of years as well. I’m sure it’s expensive to rent out those larger college gyms, but as a fan I’ve really enjoyed attending this event for the last 20 or so years, regardless of location.
delasalle probably doesnt want to you use their event at a rival school.
The events at HAAS were great. I loved it when it was hosted by DLS at CAL. Not sure but I stopped going all of the time after they changed it. St Mary’s wasn’t bad though. A hs gym with that lineup is no good.
Hass was beyond great. They even let you bring in food!
I understand the interest in a bigger venue but I actually prefer it at DLS. They split it into 2 sessions and 90% of the spectators are there for 1-2 games max. It’s a zoo for like 2-3 evening games but it’s standing room only and the atmosphere is great. Something you can’t get at a larger venue half full. And I’m sure DLS is making a killing at the door and not having to rent out a college facility.
