Chaifetz Arena Parallels the Greatness of Saint Louis

Saint Louis, Missouri is called the "Gateway to the West.  Bar B Q, the blues are among it s cultural legacies.  Saint Louis has been home to business and trade since its beginning. The river systems that fostered its early prominence as the west's business hub also provided the city's diversity of cultures and ideas. The Jesuits founded Saint Louis University in 1818 adding to the city's richness. The Chaifetz Arena brings still more diversity and culture to the Saint Louis area.

Saint Louis University is one of the nation's premier research universities. The Chaifetz Arena is housed on its campus.  Research carried on by the University has served the community of Saint Louis and the world, the same can be said for the entertainers and events hosted by the arena.

Seating 10,600, the arena is venue that is more than capable of hosting either a sporting or cultural event. Originally designed to house the Saint Louis University's basketball and volleyball programs it is also used for corporate gathering, trade shows, and more intimate and personal events. The arena's total of 16 suites offers a number of options for either type of gatherings.  Lorenzini's Lounge offers all the luxuries of the suites plus a full service bar and catering, and 250 seating capacity, as well as other exclusive amenities.

The state of the art arena facility gets its name from a once struggling college student who became a renowned neuropsychologist, Dr. Richard A. Chaifetz, a selfless benefactor of the arena. His intellectual and culturally generosity are only paralleled to that of Saint Louis, Missouri's own, making the Chaifetz Arena more than just an extraordinary venue.

Top Auburn Football Players of the 2000s

As the AuburnTigers begin their football season, here is a look at the best players from 2000-2009 (Cam Newton only played for the Tigers in 2010, so he does not count). Fans with Tigers football tickets will remember these players fondly:

1.) Carnell Williams – Few running backs across the country over the past decade were as successful as “Cadillac”. A starter for the Tigers by the end of his true freshman season, Williams finished his career No. 2 in school history in rushing with 3,831 yards, trailing only 1885 Heisman trophy winner Bo Jackson, and also holds the school record for rushing touchdowns with 45. He did this despite splitting carries with fellow 2005 first round pick Ronnie Brown. Unfortunately, after earning Rookie of the Year honors in 2005, his promising pro career was derailed by several serious knee injuries, and he was never able to return to the form that made him the No. 5 overall pick.

2.) Karlos Dansby – There are few linebackers to ever play that game that are as versatile as the athletic Dansby, who make an impact in multiple aspects of the game on defense. A three-year starter at outside linebacker for the Tigers, Dansby racked up 219 tackles, 36 tackles for loss, 10 sacks, 15 pass deflections and eight picks, and was named an All-American as a senior in 2003. A two-time All-SEC pick, Dansby was a tremendous force on the defensive side of the ball. He went on to have great success in the NFL, starting for the Arizona Cardinals for six seasons before signing one of the largest contracts ever for a linebacker with the Miami Dolphins.

3.) Marcus McNeill – Offensive lineman rarely get the credit they are due, but McNeill was so dominant that he is impossible to leave off this list. A four-year starter for the Tigers, McNeill received both All-SEC and All-America first team honors in both 2004 and 2005, as he did not allow a sack in either season and paved the way for huge years from Williams, Brown and Kenny Irons. A mammoth presence on the line at 6-foot-7 and over 330 pounds, McNeill was one of the best college offensive lineman of the past decade, and enjoyed a brief but successful career with the San Diego Chargers before retiring due to recurring neck issues.
