I took some pics this afternoon of the new floor it looks real nice all that is missing is the logo in the middle of the floor, I will have them up soon...

[SuperJon]

I can't come to Lynchburg to upload them for you. You're a big boy, you can do it yourself.

[givemethemic]

They are under my facebook under "Jerod Brooks" It's time for my Sox to beat up on the Skanks tonight!!!!

[SuperJon]

Yea, I saw them. That looks a lot better than the old floor.

Here you go (fresh from GMTM's Facebook):

[LU'sbestmanger]

wow! that's nice. it's going to look even better with the dotted lines, and the logo. i like to see the lighter wood also. good year for the flames

[LU'sbestmanger]

i hope they put i nice blue carpet around the court, instead of that ugly yellow thing we had this year

[Brokeback Flamer]

Hmmm.
I like the use of darker colors b/c it gives it a more "intimate" tone thus reducing the CAVERNOUS approach of the Vines Center in years past. Something needs to be added in the lane however, IMO. I was always a big fan of the key being in the shape of a basketball (a la Pacers) but not everyone is. The logo should be interesting. Over all I am giving it 2.75 stars and for right now just one snap and a half a twist (In Living Color fans out there?)

The floor is a definite improvement. I like a lot. Hopefully they will put the logo on the floor.

The major question: Will they use tape for volleyball lines or have them painted on?

[LU'sbestmanger]

i think tape is better. so you dont have all of those lines all over the court. what do you guys think

[thesportscritic]

i think tape is better. so you dont have all of those lines all over the court. what do you guys think

tape definitely

[Brokeback Flamer]

Of course they will use tape. Volleyball is merely a way to utilitze the facility until the "real" sports start. Title IX Title Shmine

[SuperJon]

I really hope they just put the logo and not the big huge Liberty Flames text. I hated that floor.

[Sly Fox]

... not the big huge Liberty Flames text. I hated that floor.

I think we have a unanimous opinion on that hideous text.

[Flamesfanva]

Thanks for the pictures. Look forward to seeing pictures of the finished product.

Brokeback...you have now incurred my wrath for insulting the glorious sport of volleyball...you'd better watch your back

[Hold My Own]

you'd better watch your back

NOOOOOO THATS HOW HE LIKES IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LU'sbestmanger]

so when is the court supposed to be done?

[bigsmooth]

man that looks really good!! it will be awesome with the new logo. are they replacing seats too as shown in the pic??

I'll get you in touch with a couple baseball players I know and see if they can loan you a couple bats...

[hurricane fan]

The logo should be going on today and the color of the wood will darken a bit. They have yet to put the finish on which will make it darker. As far as the outside of the court, it will be a grey rubber floor all the way around and back to where the old yellow crap stopped. The concrete in the tunnel will then be painted to match the rubber.

[givemethemic]

Hurricane Fan long time no talk how are things going?

[Hold My Own]

no more rubber with holes all over the place???? I miss seeing people trip while just simply walking b/c the last thing on their mind is "there might be a hole"

[LUconn]

Hear me and hear me good. Whoever is responsible for the execution of this idea deserves a 10% raise immediately. As ugly as the logo on the court was, this was contributing to the all around hidiousness far more than any other feature in the arena. Bravo.
