I mean, it looks like a super-nice facility, I'm just amazed that they can get teams like that to go play there, when the venue only holds 3.25k fans.
Minnesota vs Oklahoma State in Sioux Falls, SD
I find it crazy that Sioux Falls can regularly get basketball games between big time college basketball programs...and they're not even at the new Denny Sanford Premier Center (where the Summit League Tournament is) which holds 12k people...they're at the Sanford Pentagon...a facility opened in 2013 that includes 9 full-sized basketball (or volleyball) courts for tournaments. The main gym only holds 3,250 fans for a basketball game and is designed to feel like and old-school gymnasium (compact, banners hanging from rafters, corner balconies, etc.), but with the modern amenities (and scoreboards, chairback seating, etc.). They've had games between Wisconsin and St. John, Wichita State and Memphis, Iowa State and Colorado, and coming up on Saturday...

Basketball is a religion in South Dakota and Sanford pays very well.
Embrace the pace of the race.
