ESPN Ranks The Nevins as Top Scariest Places to Play Could it be the refusal of fans to sit down during a game? Or maybe the witty banter that takes place during a Fort Myers game? Perhaps the fact that it can get so loud that you can't hear yourself think. On Halloween, ESPN released a list of the Top 13 scariest places for an opposing team to play volleyball and The Nevins at Bishop Verot was included on that list. We've always been proud of the packed stands for volleyball games, now the nation takes note of it. Check out the article for yourself on ESPN.com.
