With court projection mapping the court becomes like a massive Jumbotron right? Where they can do holograms and stuff like this Florida video.

Yeah, more or less. Hopefully the content that athletics or an outside agency creates will be solid to give it a cool effect.

That will be awesome. Not many arenas even in the power 5 have that. We're gonna have the nicest little arena in college basketball.

You're so predictable. :D

The bar is set high for best small basketball venue. Wofford's arena, funded by alum Jerry Richardson, is pretty amazing, and High Point has spent a boatload of $$ on their new facility. Hopefully ours will be "in the discussion"

It was a really, really well done video. From a creative standpoint, the understated nature of the pictures allowed the audio to speak volumes.

If I have one small critique, it would be no Jerry Edwards calls.

In their defense, all the audio pxp clips were from TV. It would have been more work to pull the radio archives too. JE was strictly a radio guy.

No chance it will be mistaken for Orville Reddenbacher

Does this look small to anyone else? I know there's supposed to be 1,912 bleacher sets added but it looks really tight. Thoughts?

It does look small but without the bleachers it is really hard for me to picture it. Can't wait to see the finished product.

yeah me too. I always was big on playing in a smaller arena but this has always seemed a bit small. I still think it'll be a good place to play and a great atmosphere. I am holding off on judging it completely until I see the finished product.
