[quote=“Over49er, post:16, topic:23434”][quote=“zerogeneticsdc, post:1, topic:23434”]I’ve always wanted to see what the inside of the mine shaft looked like back when we played there. Do any of you guys have any pictures you could share? I can’t find any anywhere.

It usually looked something like this:

Also… That score was pretty realistic during Foster’s reign. Breaking 100 was pretty much standard procedure for us back then.

The only Mine Shaft memory I have is from Midnight Madness in 1996. That place was packed!! I can only imagine how rowdy that place was for a game in it’s glory days.

My freshman year madness was at the mineshaft with a dunk off between Henry and Jarvis. Amazing stuff I tell you what.

I think it was in the Mineshaft that they gave away a Poulan chainsaw everytime we broke 100.

I was there. That was Colson’s coming out party. Still haven’t replaced that guy at PG.

The Mine Shaft was alcohol accessible too, but you had to BYOB.

So is Halton, you just have to be careful about it.

@LeftyNiner

Thought you were talking about the Shaft down off of Old Concord rd (I think). Famous for penny draft back in the late 80s. Burned down around 1990. Who remembers the Shaft?

MeMeMe… ;D

I’ve actually got a VHS tape of our game in the MineShaft against East Tennessee State. It was around 1993. I believe the last game played there. I’ll put it on DVD eventually.

I saw College of Charleston win their very first game as a DI school in the Mine Shaft. I also attended Jeff Mullins basketball camp in there.

You post a lot more when quarantined in a foreign country.

The Mine Shaft was great. I graduated in 1989 and remember the ETSU game there and Jarvis breaking his wrist. I also remember plenty of racquetball games in the basement and intramural volleyball games in the gym. I also remember Mullins’ first year and playing UNCW in there. My final memory though is my oldest son who is now 15. He was probably 18 months old and we were on the 4th or 5th row. An pre-season exhibition game. You know how squirmy that age can be if you have any children! The team came out for warmups and they took the balls off the racks and began dribbling and shooting. He didn’t move a muscle for 15 minutes. He was amazed and focused on all of those basketballs! Must have been fall of 1996. Nice Father’s Day memory.

I will not deny this.

I recall a game in the Mine Shaft UNCC v Campbell Camels where I was sitting down kind of low on one end just a row or two up from visitor’s bench. Pete’s dad was coach then (Press Maravich) and he was known for losing it. Well he lost it that night and got run. It was pretty hilarious seing Coach Maravich get tossed from Mine Shaft. The bar version had a great promotion where beer actually decreased in cost as the night went on, starting at like 1/per and dropping 10 cents an hour till it was a like a a dime/per. Easy way to get toasted that’s for sure.
