If you fill the place it's a great atmosphere regardless of size.

It's no different in basketball than in football. That's why teams like Pitt, Miami, and Temple would be better served in size appropriate football stadiums that they can consistently fill than in NFL stadiums that swallow the crowd.

Cameron Indoor at Duke isn't any bigger than Cassell Coliseum, but it's an intimidating atmosphere just the same. The energy of the crowd is more important to someone like Buzz than the size.
