Basketball court ideas

[qng001]

and just a side question...how many times can you repaint the floor while using the same wood? obviously this is the first time the court has been changed but at the same time they never changed those god awful bubble letters when we changed from the belt to wac when i was in school.

We used Sports Floor, Inc for the Robertson court.

I'm not sure how many times you can do it, but the site states below:

What is the difference between sanding the floor and refinishing the floor?
When a floor is sanded a minimum of three grits of sandpaper are used. All of the seal, paint, and finish are removed. Typically, a floor should be sanded every ten years. At this point, all lines and graphics will be repainted. Likewise, whenever a floor is repaired, it should be re-sanded to maintain uniformity.

When a floor is refinished, it is simply screened and tacked, then refinished with one or two coats. Paint may be added at this time, but no paint will be removed. This should typically happen at least once a year.

The Smart thing to do is release the design to get fan feedback. Maybe even multiple options and let the fans choose.

Money talks and those who coach on it have imput.

Fixed it for you.. . . . I'd say it's a tad late to change designs this time. I don't want a floor that is designed at the last minute.

Looks like an ice skating rink.

Round floor design...not good.

Whose idea was this? Is it really round now?! Does it help with seating closer to the court at least?

Dear god people. They didn't redesign the court layout. It's been like that since the building was built. It looks like a circle because the lower bleachers are not out.

It is a circle, and you are right it always has been; and because of that, the seating has always sucked.

Oh, good. I was hoping it didn't stay that way. Not sure I've ever been in it when the bleachers weren't out.

It's very yellow now.

Your modified version is definitely the way to go for a new court. I'd hate to lose the bulldogs and Lady Techsters logo though. What about incorporating them into tunnel covers? Have the Lady Techsters logo (the one with "Lady" over "Techsters") on the smaller tunnel and bulldogs on the larger one. I have no idea what to do with all of that space though for that tunnel cover. Also I'd hate to lose the faded free throw lane. It's a novel way to incorporate the two shades of blue used by the two basketball programs.

Here are you examples . . . . from THS thread. . . .

There's a reason it's called the Thomas ASSEMBLY Center. I wasn't around when it was conceived, but I'm pretty sure there was a "multi-purpose" angle.

[DellDawg]

I wish there was a way we could change the inside and call it the Thomas "Athletic" Center.

I have great seats - arguably so, because every where I go to basketball games I find myself comparing the sitelines to mine at the TAC and in large part they all come up lacking
