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.
