UCLA Seeks Fan Input on Alternate Hoops Venues

Paul Steinbach Headshot

UCLA has e-mailed season and single-game ticket purchasers seeking their preferences of home venues for the men's basketball team next season. The Bruins are considering half a dozen different arenas, or some combination thereof, to fill in for Pauley Pavilion, which will be under renovation and unavailable.

The Los Angeles Sports Arena is the only venue available for all 18 of UCLA's home dates, and the Bruins played there from 1959-65, but its location adjacent to rival USC makes some players uncomfortable. The Forum in Inglewood could have accommodated the Bruins for the entire season, as well, but owners of Madison Square Garden have an option to purchase the Forum and plan on turning it into a concert-only venue, according to ESPN Los Angeles. If the players had their druthers, Staples Center would do nicely, but conflicts with the Lakers, Clippers and Kings leave only two of UCLA's dates open for use.
