Watch: Behind-the-Scenes Look at Gallagher-Iba Arena
STILLWATER – Most Oklahoma State fans, especially basketball fans, have been inside historic Gallagher-Iba Arena. And there’s a good portion of fans who remember what it was like before the renovations were finished in 2000, and even when it was still Gallagher Hall.
However, there haven’t been too many fans who have seen the complete ins and outs of one of the most historic venues in all of college basketball.
