Everyone loves the ambiance of a classic college, whether it be a Yale Bowl, Michigan Stadium or Cameron Indoor Stadium. But

Sarge Frye Field, University of South Carolina
Sarge Frye Field has been the baseball home of the Gamecocks since 1977. It's a cramped ballpark, which is why USC is building a new ballpark on the edge of campus. There won't be a need for Sarge Frye once the new ballpark is done, but the Gamecocks will be playing there at least through the 2008 college-baseball season.

DECC, University of Minnesota-Duluth
The home to both men’s and women’s hockey teams at the University of Minnesota-Duluth, the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center -- or DECC -- is slated to be torn down to make way for a new, larger arena soon. The unique circular design features some nice views of the Duluth harbor, and it's one of the few arenas in college hockey where the upper-level seats are better than the main-floor seating.

Siebert Field, University of Minnesota
Siebert Field, the home of the Golden Gophers, is literally falling down. University officials removed a set of bleachers down the first-base line because they were unsafe, and a new ballpark is on the agenda of Coach John Anderson and the athletic department.

Cotton Bowl
Though it's served as a home for high-school and professional football over the years, Dallas's Cotton Bowl is best known for -- what else? -- the Cotton Bowl, once a showcase southern-football event. But the BCS killed off secondary bowls with traditional rivalries, and as a result the annual Cotton Bowl on New Year's Day stopped being a marquee event. With the actual bowl game moving to the new Dallas Cowboys stadium in the future, there doesn't appear to be a financial reason for the venerable building to remain open.

Chances that the Cotton Bowl will meet the wrecking ball in the next five years: 50 percent

Assembly Hall, University of Illinois

The home of the University of Illinois Fighting Illini has been around since 1963, and the university is taking a good, long look at renovating or replacing the 16,618-seat facility. The Illini regularly sell out the place, but a lack of space for premium facilities (perhaps the biggest problem with smaller university venues) is forcing the hand of athletic-department officials. The flying-saucer design was a staple of 1960s arena layouts, and it would be a shame to lose such a distinctive facility.

Kemper Arena
Long synonymous with amateur athletics, Kansas City's Kemper Arena is now the number-two facility in the market, attracting smaller shows with less frequency. True, the place is still busy, but instead of hosting NCAA tournament games you'll find roller hockey and free American Royal events on the calendar.

Although it has served as the home for a variety of sports, it is best known as a basketball facility. The NCAA has played its women’s and men’s Final Four there. From 1973-1993, it was the home to the NAIA Basketball Tournament, a haven for hoop junkies.

Supporting two major arenas in any large metro market is hard, and Kansas City is barely big enough to qualify as a major market. There has already been some grumblings from local political leaders about subsidies paid to keep Kemper Arena open.

McArthur Court, University of Oregon
The home of the NCAA's Oregon Ducks since January 1927, McArthur Court represents all that is good about college basketball: noisy crowds and an intimate atmosphere make it the place in the Pac-10 where visiting teams like visiting the least.

And, of course, the place will be superceded in coming seasons after the university builds a new, larger and most certainly less intimate arena after Nike's Phil Knight donated $100 million to the project.

True, there doesn't seem to be a place for a college facility seating only 9,087, given the exploding budgets in big-time athletic departments. The university currently says that the venerable old gym won't be torn down. As of now, reuse plans to date have been vague.
