12. Rupp Arena (Kentucky Wildcats)

John Calipari is an excellent coach regardless of what critics say. He can develop players (Willie Cauley-Stein), put together a solid X’s and O’s game plan (although he could develop improve in that fasciate), but most importantly the Hall of Famer can recruit.

Bringing in John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, Anthony Davis, Tyler Ulis, Willie Cauley-Stein, Karl Anthony Towns and numerous other professionals or soon to be NBA players, is an invitation to attend a party. Considering Rupp Arena as a unique atmosphere is no surprise because if the fans didn’t show up to see the most load team in the nation talent wise, it would be a major disappointment. The ‘Cats fans travel in packs to road games, showing just how passionate they are about their Wildcats.

Named after former Wildcats head coach Adolph Rupp, the arena opened in 1976 and is capable of holding 23,500 fans on a nightly basis.

Kentucky has led the nation in home attendance 25 times since the 1976-77 season and they boast a remarkable winning percent of 89.
