Post by: valpo04 on August 17, 2016, 02:21:15 PM
I'd like to direct your attention to our blog, as we (finally) have some new content!  :thumbsup:

Which Horizon League venue is the toughest place to win? (No.s 10-6) (http://www.valpofanzone.com/2016/08/17/which-horizon-league-venue-is-the-toughest-place-to-win-no-s-10-6/)

QuoteIn the spirit of ESPN's recently completed review of home court advantage in the nation's top 10 conferences – welcome to the unofficial rankings for the Horizon League. This is not purely a facility review, but a comprehensive, fact-based (but still totally subjective) look at the overall difficulty of winning at each home court. Regardless of how good the home team happens to be, every trip has its own unique challenges. Enjoy this spin around the League. We look forward to comments, disagreements and counter-arguments over on the Forum. Here are venues 10 through 6. The top 5 will be added tomorrow.

Enjoy!

Who knew a comparative analysis of HL venues could be so interesting and informative. A must-read for any highly engaged HL fan!

Great read. I suspect you rate Calihan too low, given that Detroit had the longest home winning streak in the country around the turn of the century, and one of the longest--maybe 4th or 5th--as recently as 2013.

But maybe not.
