We played Michigan at the garden a few years ago and it was their home game.

Grow up ya dolt.

Love to know the thought process again.

We blow out MSU twice in a row at home and now are giving up our home court advantage?

After tonight we need this game at home.

Truly do not understand.

Please stop! It's a better atmosphere than anywhere when full, or close to full. It's the most significant arena in this country. Izzo did not request it. That is preposterous. The Big Ten requested it. Rutgers is in the Big Ten because of proximity to NYC. That is the biggest reason. It is the only reason that the game is on big boy Fox. Rutgers should play in MSG every year.

You do know we also played away games at the garden against conference opponents. They gave up home court those years too

Nope. We give up home field. Nobody else does it. Waive the loans then. Izzo damn sure jumping for joy. The reason is TV eyes. Not MSG. Just like Yankee Stadium, it’s stupid and hurts RU. We’ve done just fine not playing in Met Life.

Agree with everything you said. Disagree it's not a better atmosphere specific to our team than playing at home. Izzo is happy lol.

Even worse, the B1G made Michigan play their home game in NYC (and not Detroit) against Rutgers. Why did Rutgers receive that generosity from the conference? If/when Rutgers is asked to give up a home game to play in Detroit against Michigan, then you can really complain about getting shafted.

Like you, not everyone is a fan or loves giving up a home game at the RAC, but it could be worse. At least it's still relatively 'local' to our campus and fanbase.

Why give up your home court advantage for a neutral site? I’d feel better if we closed out the 2nd half and won today. Then the neutral site loss doesn’t sting as much.

As long as we have an equal number of "away" and "home" B1G games at MSG, how could anyone be against this? Assuming we're as good as we've been the past few years, this means that both the away and the home games will be close to home games for us, which is a huge plus for us. And any game we play at MSU will almost certainly be on a major network.

If for some reason one game for first place in conference would you want it at MSG or RAC?
