Opening Night Scrimmage

[atskooc]

I love that the paint is actually painted.

I'd like it better without the state outline, it's a little bit too busy, but overall it's a pretty sweet looking court.  B+

 

Massive improvement over last year for sure.

Preview of the new court design at PBA:

 

 

 

Pretty sweet design. Not really a huge fan of the added “fnbo” next to their logo (seems busy) but hey money talks. Or maybe it means something different like.. “Fred’s Nebraska Basketball Organization.”

That logo being a simple shade of stain different than the main court seems to blend in more than if it were colorized, such that we'll hardly even notice the FNBO after a while.

Just to get this straight, I surmise when we refer to the Fenbo it will be anything which happens on the court and we should thank First National Bank of Omaha and when we enter the arena it will still be the Piba and the Pinnacle Bank should occupy our thoughts. Does anyone know how much it costs these financial institutions and how long their sponsorship lasts? I'm trying to decide where to move my checking account. (Will probably be most influenced by whether I want the toaster or the mini-crockpot more).

I thought the Pinnacle Bank sponsorship was for 25 years and FNBO was for 10 years. I did not verify that, fyi, just my recollection.

Probably gonna be a sellout!

I mean, "sellout"...since the tickets are free...

[dustystehl]

Has anyone received the email with the print-at-home tickets yet? I'm starting to worry that maybe I missed it on accident. If that's the case, can we print them from our account at huskers.com?

[49r]

will there be a third-party market for these tickets?  Imagine finding tickets to a free event available for resale on stubhub or seatgeek!

I haven't yet either. I imagine they'll send them out next week, but if you want to feel safer maybe call the ticket office?

Pretty sure I received the link to the tickets when I “bought” them online.

This is what the email (received 07/15) said:

 

Delivery Method: Print at Home

The print at home ticket is to be used like any other ticket and will be sent to your email within three to four weeks of the event. For post-season events, tickets will be sent after the announcement to host is made. It will be separate from your confirmation email.

 

We're now 2 weeks out from the event and, to my knowledge, I have not received the email with the print at home tickets.

Maybe that's why people haven't received a link to their tickets, as of yet: Huskers don't want to create a secondary market for 'free' seats.

I haven't received mine either. Let me know if you hear anything.

Yeah, I tweeted at one of their promo vids on the court “when are you emailing out the tickets” and got crickets...we are definitely 3-4 weeks out...Rick Ross has been named. Guess they are waiting til the end...

[uneblinstu]

If they're gonna send them by email, that stuff often gets out within 48 hours of the event. That's been my experience, at least.

Personally, I'd have preferred Ric Ocasek.  Good thing they didn't wait til the last minute....  RIP, Ric.  Cars were not one of my favorites, but they were a talented group that provided refuge in the middle of a disco storm.

It's bright and "pops" a little too much for my tastes (not as bad as the Barn) but I wish it had a more natural wood look, but hey, they didn't stop by O'rourkes's to ask me... 

[hskr4life]

When does practice officially start?

What does this mean? Does it have an unnatural wood look? Or do you just want a different color/type of wood?

I'm assuming "natural wood" is to be distinguished from "stained." I could be wrong. I thought it looked pretty much unstained. I could be wrong on that one, too.

[Handy Johnson]

In layman’s terms “darker”, it seems too bright to me.( like the the MN court) I just wish it was a little warmer...
