I remember when it was built and all the hoopla. Yesterday's state of the art facilities are todays old decrepit dinosaurs. How much older was it than the Rose Garden?

About 7 years. It opened in 1988 and the Rose Garden opened in 1995.

I think it was like 88 or 89. I remember having an old NBA Digest, or some other basketball magazine, that had huge articles on the Palace, the "New"Arco Arena, something on the Spurs and Bucks arenas too.

So weird to think that was 30+ years ago.
 
I went to a Blazers game there once. Not really a palace, but I'm a little bit surprised it won the implosion lottery.

barfo at a "blazers game" at the Palace.

"I would like a beer please"

"sir, this is a 7-11"

"And I would like a beer, please"
 
I haven't seen a demolition that controlled since Building 7 went down many hours after the others on 9/11.

WHY DO YOU THINK IT WAS CALLED THE PALACE? THERE WAS AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF GOLD UNDERNEATH IT.

THE GOVERNMENT DID 6/12.

That fake gold story again! Those conspiracy jokers must have hacked Wikipedia.

One of the world's largest gold depositories was located underneath the World Trade Center, owned by a group of commercial banks...[124] Seven weeks after the September 11 attacks, $230 million in precious metals was removed from basement vaults of 4 WTC. This included 3,800 100-Troy-ounce 24 carat gold bars and 30,000 1,000-ounce silver bars.[125]

By the thread title, I was hoping you were talking about the "Glass Palace"
Do we really need both?
 
Jinx, they played in the Pontiac Silverdome, I believe while they were building the Palace. A lot of those early Zeke highlights are in the Dome with curtains in the background.

I did know. I was showing you how one could use google to find out the information you sought.
 
The one thing i didn't like about the Palace was the Lighting. On the TV, it came off as an old Denny's with yellow smoker smoke tinted windows.

I clicked on the button. It still didn't give me the answer. Don't you feel flattered that I turned to you instead of Google? It's called "having a conversation."
