Excellent. I'm looking forward to the finished product.

It appears to be the first part of a center hanging scoreboard. That and some new lighting and the place will look awesome.

I understand that many of the bulbs in the current lighting system need to be replaced but what is wrong with the lighting system we have now?

Also, it looks like they've dropped the old hanging piece that I think house the PA speakers.

I'm fine with the current system, but I know many people here have posted that they think it's way too dark.

Definitely too dark. The lighting needs to be re-worked. Reminds me of some 70s area arenas. Edited April 2, 2013 by UNT90

It's one of the darkest arena's in the country. Terrible for picture taking.

[foutsrouts]

As long as the players can see, I kind of like it dark.

I'd trade every LED display, center-hang scoreboard, re-worked lighting arrangement, sidewalk re-concreting and sound-system upgrade for the one change the Super Pit really needs...

Too obvious. no need to throw a bone.

You hate the orange bathrooms that much?

No, no, no. It's the roof. It needs to be painted green.

I understand many aren't happy with coach right now, but is it possible to have one positive thread especially in regards to a much needed improvement? Just one.

[UNT90]

Sign of the times.

[CMJ]

How many of the ceiling lights are they replacing? All of them?

I think Coach Petersen is doing a great job!

The dark green seats eat up a ton of ambient light.

[NT03]

I didn't know they were naming the practice facility after Ernie K.. I like & well deserved

Funnel Cake

Funnel Cake

I bet there'd be more funnel cake if we fixed the problem I'm talking about.

And more hot dogs. Kettle corn. French fries. Snickers. Nacho Cheese. Soda syrup (just the syrup). Soft serve. Hard serve. Giant pickles (gotta have your veggies). Pizza. Milk Duds. Fry-o-later oil. Churros. Expired Hostess-Brand desserts. Mayonaise packets...

Signs point to no.

Obviously, NO. I agree with the thought, but they all deteriorate to "UNT sucks".

I'm going to stick with the men's basketball coach's sucks. It will be neat to catch a replay of Benford stomping his foot and looking cluelessly at the players on the bench 10 times a game. Better lighting might even help the cameras catch all of it too. I'm not sure how many will see it though, maybe 1,500 by seasons end? Edited April 3, 2013 by Army of Dad
