Official new floor design for Pinnacle Bank Arena

Yes that was it, really liked that because it wasn't overpowering.  Still had the big letter, but let you know where the game was coming from.

 

Also really like the Colorado court,  can't believe I just said that. :blink:

 

Ours could be corn stalks, or soy bean plants, with a couple of cows grazing in the lanes.  Be the only one like it. ;)

So you would paint Nebraska's cheerleaders on the court ?  :blink:

Well, if they ditched the state outline and the script "Huskers" then I'd agree. I hate script "Huskers"...it looks retro in a terrible way.<br />

<br />

That said, this is the "N" I would like to see at midcourt. </p></blockquote>

Script Huskers id the best logo we have. I couldn't disagree more with you.

Interesting design idea for UNLV's floor.  That would present some interesting ... opportunities ... for the play by play guy.  If someone takes a deep three pointer, for example, it won't be from "way down town."  Instead, he'd point to some landmark on the floor like ... maybe the "L" on the word "Lost."  Or something like that.  B)

One thing I'm noticing about the photos of these different arenas is not the floor design so much as how close the seats are to the playing surface.  Look at the picture of Michigan's arena in the "essentials" thread for that game.  Dayum!  Those seats crowd the floor.  Which is how I was hoping ours would be.  We have way too much room, IMO, between the seats and the playing floor.

Yeah, that looks very familiar.  That's an old photo, though.  Remember those old baskets hanging down from the ceiling?  Remember against Michigan State on National TV when the one basket on the side malfunctioned and wouldn't go up all the way?  Ooooooops. 

I don't even think there's a 3 pt. line on that one.  I like the simplicity of it though.

 

The only hoop malfunction I remember was the Jason Dourisseau dunk vs. Tennessee.

Re making the N smaller....if they had something really cool to replace it with I'd be all in favor of removing the N altogether. I guess with me I always thought the KU court was awesome with the KU Jayhawk that fills half the court. Lol....but I strongly doubt that a giant image of Lil' Red's head would be all that intimidating.

I like the floor to have a slightly different color than most other floors.  It then has the possibility of providing the home team with a slight advantage.  Little things can play a role in that home team advantage, and this could be one of them.  Again, not a whole lot different, but just different enough.
