The Current State of Wikipedia Pages for NCAA Division II Arenas
[edit]I am writing this to voice my displeasure of the current state of Wikipedia pages for NCAA Division II arenas. I spent the last fifteen minutes going over every single arena for NCAA Division II programs, and I must say I'm disappointed to say the least. While there are plenty of bare-bones stubs for NCAA Division I arenas (considering every Division I program automatically gets one), this is especially apparent for DII. There are several large arenas the size of what you would expect for a mid-major D-I school whose Wikipedia articles are WASTED POTENTIAL. The following list is every arena and my personal rating (some differ from the official rating):

Honestly, I think we can do better. Many of these pages that are currently stubs have major potential, especially the higher-capacity arenas and the older ones. If there are any volunteers, feel free to contact me! Newspapers.com is the best source material in my opinion.
