Do you have the scale models made by Danbury Mint of Rupp Arena and Commonwealth Stadium?

Rupp Arena comes complete with the NCAA banners hanging from the rafters and the player's jerseys. Mine is missing Rick Pitino. I took a pair of tweezers and removed that sucker. :)

The models are really done right and most schools are available. (although I have not seen one for Papa John)

Thanks for the links, I am a stadium nut also.

I bought these several years ago. They had Commonwealth before and after the renovation.

My favorites are Fenway Park.........the atmosphere around the Park is in incredible. Yankee Stadium to think I sat in a place where Ruth, Gehring, Dimaggio, etc. played wow......Kaufmann is the prettiest but it's in a parking lot and not much around the park.

Huge stadium fan. Been to about every FB stadium from PA down to LA.

If you are really into it, heres a site I find very interesting. It shows stadiums from around the world. Kinda neat looking at how stadiums are designed in these small towns in Africa, Middle East, etc.
