More than a floor By Paul Brand
Allen Fieldhouse is renowned for its aura and also its structure. The fieldhouse has enjoyed a number of floor designs throughout the years, each of which brings plenty of debate from the involved Jayhawk community. Pieces of previous floors have spread to Jayhawk faithful, including the fieldhouse itself, where one floor centerpiece is displayed in a trophy case.

The smile in the stands By Frank Tankard

He doesn't walk slowly, but he does walk carefully. Former Allen Fieldhouse usher Fred Plank worked at the fieldhouse for 46 years, from 1958 to 2004. Plank's night job saw its last days when a new organization took over the role of hiring game employees this season, but Plank's relationship with the fieldhouse and its frequenters, as well as his fond memories, will be long-lived.
Assembling Allen By Ryan Colaianni
Allen Fieldhouse began in 1927 as the crazy dream of a few key individuals. After being delayed by The Great Depression and World War II, the building of the fieldhouse finally became a reality in the early '50s. Since then it has endured many changes, from the many sports it has hosted to its changing seating sections to its various scoreboards — the newest of which will be introduced soon.
