Those look to much like the Oakland, Mi. floor where Iowa took a **** against NW State
Bring back the Gold and name it Chris Street Court.
Done.
That's not what I'm talking about. I mean the actual floor that is used was brought in early in the Alford years. It is garbage now because we have to move it around so much for various events. Floors aren't meant for that so it is worn out. We are looking into possibly getting a new one for next year, but that doesn't mean they are going to paint it a different scheme than it is now.
I hate any commercial names on court , they have no business being there in first place.Nothing over-sized, no "day-glow", no frickin Media Con Court advertiements and put the students on the side-lines that shows up on TV.
More and more of the fat donors (are aging and dying) can be placed on the non TV side with wider seats to accompany their big butts. On the student side put in bleachers and no frickin aisles that are a mile wide... The space can easily cram in 3 to 4 K of students who get in free but have to wait in line.
Is any of this so hard to do Gary Barta?
Gotcha. While were on the topic of changing things, Iowa needs to start using the logo in your avatar again as well.
This is a travesty and an embarrassment. Makes UI look like the whore of the B1G.

Move the student section!!
I think the yellow idea is great (throwback). As much as I've disliked it in the past... I also like the parquet. I only disliked it back when we sucked however many years ago with Lickliter, and that just put me in a bad iowa-basketball mood.
Yellow paint, parquet. Also I can't stand the oversized mid court logos. I love the small halfcourt logos though.
Which brings up another point, should we rock the state silhouette at halfcourt? Maybe with the tigerhawk inside of it
If we're going to change it, let's really change it. Nostalgia is for losers.
Highlighter yellow -- great with blacklights. Like Baylor or Michigan, only brighter. Five-star recruits love the crazy glow in the dark uniforms.
Then, paint some crazy design on the floor so that shooters will really be confused, like Oregon's mess:

I'm thinking like a big hawk's eye -- scary and huge, like this:

Then pay back whatever we got from Mediacom, and tell them thanks, but no thanks.
