THE PALESTRA
Cathedral of Basketball
Philly Philms: DVD
December 1, 2008

Originally premiered on ESPN in 2007, this feature-length documentary traces the evolution of college basketball through the rise of the most historic arena in the country. Discover how this building became the stamping ground for the game that captured the heart of America, and how its majestic influence would ultimately diminish as the very sport it had nurtured blossomed into lavish and high-priced popularity.
Appearing in this documentery, Eric Zillmer, an avid college basketball fan and Palestra historian, takes great pride in working just blocks away from the storied arena and offers some very interesting insights on the Greek origins of the building and explanations for its vast success.
