Palestra's History Renewed
The Palestra has opened its doors for the 2000-2001 basketball season with a $2 million face lift. Built in 1926, the Palestra has been renovated over the last six months to make it into a facility of the new millennium. There are four concourses each of which has a theme: one shows the school and Hall of Fame inductees of the Big Five, a second portrays Penn basketball history, the third displays legendary high school and college players and coaches who have visited and competed here and the fourth concourse displays the Penn-Princeton rivalry, broadcasters and writers who have worked at the Palestra and volleyball and wrestling, the other two sports that compete in the building. The displays, exhibit and photographs on these concourses depict some of the great moments in Philadelphia basketball. |
