In the criteria for the list, one of the basics is that the venue must be physically in existence and in use. I don't think this can be said about the Kronk Gym.

a little surprised that the Palace of Auburn hills is not on that list. it truly revolutionized the way that modern basketball stadiums are built.

it was also the site of the Pistonian revolution, when the proletariat forces of detroit's basketball squadron defeated the bourgoisie elite of the NBA, and ascended to champion status.
