10. It’s Pauley Pavilion!

What other reason do you need? It is Pauley Pavilion! The home of the most NCAA banners for men’s basketball. The home for the surging women’s team. It is the home that John R. Wooden built.

Pauley Pavilion is as much a national treasure as it is an arena for Bruin hoops. Since its renovation a few season ago, it has become a monolith to the success that is UCLA Athletics. From the Wooden display on the east side to the list of all-americans to the 113 national championships, nothing comes close to what Pauley Pavilion houses.

And while you are in the area, why not head over to Ackerman Union and get some UCLA merchandise. Maybe head into Westwood for a pre- or post-game meal. And while you are at it, go ahead and get yourself a cookie from Diddy Riese.

So really, you have no reason to not get out to Pauley and several to go. This year, UCLA Basketball is exciting as ever and to have two teams with a lot of talent and success just makes the trek out to Westwood worth it. Go Bruins!
