Winningest team in CBB history, most tourney appearances and Big Blue Nation consistently ranks first in home game attendance. Well done, Cats.

Kentucky Basketball headquarters. See as many games as you can here. Legendary venue. Upper level is all rafters

Rupp Arena hosted one of the great upsets in NCAA Tournament history when 8th seeded Villanova became the lowest seeded team to cut down the nets in 1985.

John Mann

Concessions at Rupp Arena are small and very bland. No alcohol is sold for basketball games. Very big arena. Best parking can be found on the surface lots around High Street.

Be sure to eat dinner before you get anywhere near the arena! At 5p before a 8p game the wait was over an hour everywhere.

Go watch the CATS play if you get the chance, we just beat USC and it feels amazing. Cal's castle is a great/fun environment for the games!

Some of my favorite memories were presenting the colors at UK basketball games !

Josef Ferguson

Standing in line at the big concession stand by section 15 and the line is too long? Turn around & go up the stairs behind you. There's another stand upstairs that is usually much less busy.

Don't see Richie Farmer around the arena much anymore... I guess they are afraid he'll steal something.
