HISTORICALLY SPEAKING • Fordham University’s home court, the Rose Hill Gymnasium which was named as one of the four “Cathedrals of College Basketball” by ESPN The Magazine, is the old- est gym still being used by an NCAA Division I basketball team. The 3,200-seat gym opened on January 16, 1925 for a game between Fordham and Boston College. The Rams took the opener 46-16 in a game refereed by one of the University’s most promi- nent alumni, “The Fordham Flash”, Frankie Frisch. • The Gym was one of the largest on-campus facilities at the time it was built, earning the nickname “The Prairie” because of its large floor space. The original configura- tion had no end zone stands and a seating capacity of 2,100 but several standing room crowds of 6,000 were reported in the late 1920’s. Since its opening in 1925, the gym has seen numerous renovations, adding new seating, scoreboards and public address systems. • The arena has been in continuous use by Fordham’s basketball teams since its opening with the exception of the World War II years, when it was used for a barracks. • The Rose Hill Gym has been the site of many legendary college and high school basketball games including Kareem Abdul Jabbar’s final high school game and the 1988 Tolentine-Archbishop Molloy Catholic High School Athletic Association (CHSAA) Championship game, billed by the Newsday as the “Best High School Game of the 80’s”. • The Rose Hill Gym has been named as one of the Top Ten arenas by USA Today and was featured in the 2011-12 ESPN The Magazine College Basketball issue as one of four Cathedrals of College Basketball. 6 - Fordham University Basketball Game Notes www.fordhamsports.com FORDHAM IN THE RAMS ONE OF 14 NCAA DIV.
