There is nothing "cool" about the Joel. You don't get any type of wow feeling walking in, and especially for a first visit. You truly feel like you're going into an old arena. Now that can be okay, if there's something particularly special about it (ala Cameron) but that isn't the Joel. Just go walk in the hornets arena, or somewhere like Kentucky etc. I know those are bigger venues but they feel like you're at an event you want to be at. The joel can be fun and have its moments, but unless we are a top 10 team consistently (which almost no program in the country is) it won't be a consistently good place for a game. And to be honest, when it does provide a good atmosphere, its not bc of the joel, it is in spite of it.
