UK’s New Basketball Arena Is Going To Be Absolutely Insane
Kentucky basketball is not your run-of-the-mill college basketball program. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. It’s more like a religion, and just like any religion, it needs a cathedral for followers to properly worship.
The school recently released this video that shows renovation plans for the aging, decrepit Rupp Arena. As expected, the final product is unreal.
Watch the amazing video of the renderings:
Glass walls. Expanded lobbies. An NBA-sized jumbotron. And…is that a moat? The entire renovation will cost an astounding $310 million. Combine that with the state’s education budget and that is $311 million those poor Kentucky residents will never see again. Kentucky just raised the basketball bar to a standard that, until now, was never before imagined.
This sucks for everybody who is not a Kentucky fan for a variety of reasons, but mainly because we don’t believe that Kentucky needs any more recruiting advantages. The school already locks up around 80 percent of the nation’s best five-star recruits, so this just means it’s going to take the other 20 percent. Whatever. At least they will suck at football forever.

Kentucky football will never be good because they spend more on their Midnight Madness for basketball than they do football recruiting.

11 years ago at 9:56 pmholy shit…its basically the Texas Stadium of college basketball
11 years ago at 12:02 pmI like how they added the clips of football players and dirt bikes, just to give it a little more America.
11 years ago at 12:05 pmNot gonna lie, that’s pretty neat.
11 years ago at 12:09 pmNo matter how nice it is they’ll never forget the shot.
11 years ago at 12:25 pmNot to mention they have an extreme left handed liberal fucktards running the school.
11 years ago at 12:27 pmConsidering UK got a top 20 recruiting class, are in the middle of a 110 million dollar football stadium renovation, and a 45 million dollar football facility renovation they might not suck at football much longer. Thank you coal money.
11 years ago at 12:33 pmAt 40 seconds for a split second they have a girl in the Kentucky jerseys which what appears to be no pants on. Subliminal messaging.
11 years ago at 12:35 pmWhy is the United Kingdom building an insane basketball facility?
11 years ago at 1:31 pmYou will regret the Kentucky Football comment soon, Bluth. Stoops just recruited a top 20 class. The Stronghorns are only going downhill from here with their terrible hire.
11 years ago at 1:40 pmyou do forget that the Ville is still stocked with athletes that have stomped all over yall the past few years. (DeVante Parker to name one) plus we brought back the same coach that lead us to having the number one scoring offense back in the day. so tell me again how kentucky is legitimate? being 2-10 doesnt give you bragging rights
