Preparations for new arena continue
By Lisa Cangelosi | July 22, 2002University Hall may not have the historical significance of the Lawn or the architectural design of the Rotunda but it has hosted what were arguably some of the greatest moments in University history. Two of these moments, the 2001 Valentine's Day Massacre of Duke and its 2002 encore, will be remembered fondly when today's students look back on their memories of U-Hall. Soon, all they will have is memories. U-Hall, though it holds a place in Virginia's history, will soon no longer be the main venue for men's and women's basketball in Charlottesville. The new arena, which will be located across Massie Road, will be configured in a horseshoe-shaped design that will seat 15,000 fans.
