The program has appeared in many different spots throughout each basketball arena. At Kansas, they were in the program's museum; at Kentucky, they were at the entrance of the arena; at UConn, they were on the concourse; at Gonzaga, Florida, and Marquette, they were on the court; and at Duke, they were in Krzyzewskiville, the tent village outside Cameron Indoor Stadium. It is also worth noting that in Chrisnt years (except for the Final Four), the morning airings of this program have taken place on the court.
Through the end of the 2009-2010 basketball & football seasons, 18 schools (Boston College, Clemson, Florida, Kansas, Kansas State, Kentucky, LSU, Michigan State, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Pittsburgh, Tennessee, Texas, UCLA, West Virginia and Wisconsin) have hosted College GameDay for both basketball and football events. On January 22, 2011, Purdue became the 19th school to reach that mark, having hosted for football in 2004. On February 26, 2011, Virginia Tech will also be added to the list as they hosted for football in 2007.
Starting with the fourth season (2008), the basketball version of GameDay is broadcast in high-definition on ESPN HD.
On January 16, 2010, the 6th season premiere of College GameDay, the show was broadcast live from the site of a women's college basketball game for the first time ever as it made an appearance at Gampel Pavilion in Storrs, Connecticut. The show covered the women's college basketball game between Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Connecticut Huskies.
