Because it is better than the parking lot?

Some organizations just play in whatever facility they can get, is convenient, or is cheap. Not all will be as nice as MSG.

Very true concerning the graphics on the court. How about as nice as OSU's gym?

The school keeps trying to rent the court at Madison Square Garden, but the Knicks, Rangers, Dog Show, and Circus, always get first dibs.
