I was just curious and wondering which universities have either volleyball only facilities or at least a volleyball only court.
I know USC, Hawaii, and other universities share the same facility as basketball, but, they have their own volleyball court that gets set up.
Illinois has their own, University of Dayton, Florida, Nebraska...Who else?
Thanks
PEACE

Depends on what you mean by 'Volleyball Only'. There are some places such as Penn State and Indiana that share with non-basketball teams such as wrestling or gymnastics.

Just looking for courts that do not have basketball lines in them.
Sharing with other sports is fine, as long as the volleyball court does not have any other lines going through them.

PEACE That seems rather an artificial distinction. There are many facilities where the permanent hardwood has a primary set of lines for volleyball. This is typically where the inbounds are in a clearcoat over the hardwood, while the area outside at marked by a strip all around in some primary color. They still might include faint lines for basketball or even secondary volleyball lines (for a multi-court setup), but the primary lines stand out and aren't mistaken. Stanford's Burnham Pavilion hosts their men's VB team and was the home court for their women's VB team in 2004. You can see the basketball lines, but they're hardly noticeable when concentrating on the game itself.  Bohler Gym at Washington State is much the same:  So far I haven't been able to find any permanent hardwood floors where there aren't at least some faint lines for some other sport. Most such facilities are also used for open gyms where there might be basketball or other sports. The only way you're likely to find something devoid of other lines would be with a portable surface. Of course there's Sport Court and Taraflex, as well as sectional hardwood floors like they use at USC and Florida. |

Southern Cal has a specific floor that is used only for volleyball. The b-ball teams have their own floor that is put in when they play at the Galen.

Those are sectional hardwood floors, which is what NBA teams use in their home arenas. They're disassembled and reassembled like jigsaw puzzles. I guess it's nice, but the disadvantages are that they require labor every time a different floor is needed and that the pieces need storage space. At certain angles/lighting, you can see where the sections are:  I heard the Staples Center has four completely different portable hardwood floors. The Lakers and Clippers each have their own floors, while they have two other floors they use for other events like the Pac-12 Tournament. |

I've seen a few...
Albany - University Gym
Syracuse - Women's Building Gymnasium
Vassar - Kenyon Hall (sport court)
Arkansas - Barnhill Arena
Mississippi State - Newell-Grissom
Florida has their own practice facility, but they share the O'Connell center with both basketball teams and gymnastics, but they do have their own floor if that is really all you are looking at.

I have always liked how that UT crowd yells in unison: "POINT TEXAS" after the arena announcer says point Texas after each point Texas scores in a match. I don't know how it is for other matches in the Gregory, but those UT/Nebraska matches I've watched which have been televised from the Gregory, that place was packed to rafters and the crowd was LOUD/ vociferous and INTO it. Seems like a really good venue for women's collegiate VB. |

I always hate the "Point [insert team name here]" because I first heard it at Illinois.
