Tweet about new floor at Super Pit

JKvsHimself · October 1, 2013

I saw a tweet a couple nights ago by @meangreenbb about the installation of a new basketball floor at the Super Pit.

Does anyone have any pics yet? Or is it basically the same design, just with a CUSA logo instead of the SBC.

That would be the "best" option, but who knows...

Looks like we also have new shot clocks

The video board isn't the only thing new at The Super Pit for the fans this year. The upgrades keep coming! pic.twitter.com/rXlwQuNXQM

About time we get new shot clocks. Holy moly.

Love the new look of the Super Pit! Can't wait to check out the new floor too (assuming that it's noticeably different), I just hope that our team shows a significant change as well.

I wonder what they will do with those other tiny video boards on the ends now? YOu know the ones you need a telescope to see?

Track and Field complex?

Track and Field complex?

Surely they will simply move the video board from Fouts over to the new track complex.

Baseball stadium I would hope.

I'd keep the existing scoreboards where they are and use the video boards for rolling adverts. It be a good additional revenue stream.

I asked about pics of new floor and this was the response:

@iteagle03 @MeanGreenMBB Come to Basketball madness next Thursday night at the super pit and you will see a video preview of the new floor.

So, an article about a new floor with pictures of a scoreboard/video board and shot clocks. Hmm.

RV said they are also working to get a new lighting system installed. I don't know if that will happen this year or not but good to hear we are keeping the Super Pit updated.

When I go to the Tip Off event next week I'll try to see if I can get some pictures of the new floor. Based on the podcast it will be different from what we are used to.

Like the drill.

Harry · October 4, 2013

Enjoyed that. Very intense drill.

Andrew · October 4, 2013

I bet we did that drill under Johhnyas we'll. pretty common. They throw Quincy under the goal at Ryan with the pads. That is intimidating, haha

Green Otaku · October 4, 2013

Hope the new floor looks nice. I have never liked the green inside the 3 point line.

GMG !!!

Obviously, the college sports uniform trend is centered around recruiting. There's also a growing court design trend. See SJSU below...

A. Should we expect something similar at The Pit?

B. Is this trend similarly motivated by recruiting benefit?

UNTcrazy727 · October 8, 2013

Baseball stadium I would hope.

I would hope they'd just buy a new one. We hated it at Fouts so why would we want it in our brand new ballpark?

Maduro · October 8, 2013

All of these new things are nice and needed but do not solve my biggest issue with the pit... moving the media section to the floor where it is supposed to be. Dozens of prime season ticket seats have been wasted for years. I hate seeing all the panoramic pictures of big crowds at the super pit with that giant eyesore in the middle of it. There is more than enough room to build a double deck of media rows that would not block anyone's view (just like the other side) and if needed, just move the team benches a few feet down like every nba team has done. I'll gladly offer to purchase the first available tickets in that section if it ever opens.

Thankfully, this issue will give us all something new to complain about after the latest upgrades are finished. You're welcome and I have promoted my post to an article.
