COMMENTARY
LAWRENCE, Kan. — If you’re a sports fan, Phog Allen Fieldhouse is a must-visit. To walk through the tunnel from the ultra-modern concourse into the gym itself is as close as you’ll get to time travel.
You can feel the history when you go to venues like Fenway Park or Wrigley Field, but there are obvious touches of modernity. If you never look up at the video board at The Phog, you feel like you’re actually living in the past.
The Allen Fieldhouse experience is decidedly less enjoyable for opposing coaches.
