Both games were excellent with a very good venue! If the tournament is in Richmond next year, I would like to attend.
Great games. Seem well-planned. Only complaint I have is how rude some of the RMC event workers were.
Great tournament in a great environment!!! Just wish more people were out and about in Richmond. City seemed dead after the games.
The CAA tournament has become the tournament to see! The conference consistently sends at least two teams to the big dance and the level of play during the tournament rivals any other conference - That's right! You heard me ACC. The Richmond Coliseum is dated but clean with good sightlines. They could stand to upgrade their food offerings however.
had a good time we had lots of fun, the building is very old but nice
Hi energy, great fans, central location, easy parking, affordable. Gotta be one of the best in the country.
The games were awesome. So looking forward to tonight's game: VCU take on Drexel. Sure would be nice if tickets for the lower level seats were available to the local fans and also to those season ticket holders of the Rams at the Siegel Center. Real bummer to see empty seats below as you are sitting high up in nose bleed section.
really enjoyed the game even though vcu lost after being down 18 pts in the second half and almost pulling off a comback.
Great game, respectful crowd, OLD FACILITY! We had a great time - a great ODU win!!!
I've now been to the CAA tournament twice, and I've found it a quite enjoyable experience. The basketball is terrific, the atmosphere is fabulous - especially the pep bands - and the price is right. My only regret this year was not staying for the second day of the tournament. (Couldn't have stayed for the finals because of work.)
The Basketball game was great as ODU won. I was excited about that howver I purchased 3 tickets and the 3 seats we had sucked. Ticketmaster put us in the upper level in the front row of the Richmond Coliseum. We could not see the ballgame because the rails were in the way the whole time. We had to shrink down in our seats to be able to see the game. The next day our neck was so sore. Please do not see tickets to events that you can not see. We could not even standup because people behind us wanted us to set down.
An intense basketball game well worth attending. Each team played incredibly hard until the final buzzer.
I have gone to this for 4 years straight now, and I just discovered the fan zone outside. This very nice.the food was good and the beer was cold. One of the bands playing was called "The bush League" they played blues and were very entertaining. If you plan on doing all six sessions don't leave home with out some cash. After a while a six dollar beers 4 dollar dogs get a little old. But it was a very nice time
The CAA tournament is well-run and provides a great atmosphere. While Richmond Coliseum is not a modern, state-of the art arena, it is a perfectly great place to watch basketball. Plus the downtown Richmond location is perfect for this event.
enjoyed the game in Richmond as it was a clean safe environment.
Great weekend of basketball. Enjoyed seeing the teams all under 1 roof . My team,VCU, was awesome. The Gold Rush dancers are fantastic!
The Richmond Coliseum is a dump. Poor lighting and looks really stupid with the different color seats. Collecting money while leaving the parking garage slowed things down and is a safety issue and always has been. Saw two guys almost get into a fight because of the backup in the garage. Selling tickets to the winner of the first game in the semi-finals gives that winner an unfair advantage on getting the best seats and as many seats for the championship. During the musical chairs at halftime of the first semi-final games the stupidity of one player almost got others hurt and was rude. Bad sportsmanship when two bands play at the same time and just really sounds bad. Crowds hard to walk with during the break between the two games and having vendors taking a lot of space prevented a good flow of traffic. To be honest wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't a fire code violation and would be if the Fire Marshall saw it happening.
The excitement was there from start to finish. The energy in the air was great for mid-major college basketball. The upsets really made everything interesting although the number 2 seed wound up a the winner.
Great event! We love CAA basketball! Both games were interesting and the second was won at the buzzer.
Fun. Good envirinment. Plenty of parking. concessions were good.
