the Court has been redone

Thank God! The white court was just awful on TV. My retinas are thankful.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

That’s the worst looking sheet of ice I’ve ever seen

thankful this nightmare has passed.

thankful this nightmare has passed.

God I'm glad we didn't dig in. I rarely have an opinion on things like uniforms/etc., but that court was rough.

Yes, the long national nightmare is over. If the video is representative, they might have color corrected the maroon as well. Thank goodness.

 

[Roland Brooks]

Terrible on TV

 

[GopherBlood777]

This settles it now, no excuses this year, we must play as good as the new court looks : )

 

[BballJones]

Looks so much better.

 

[golden_girl]

Could have done without the massive Cambria logos.

 

[Stan]

We back.

I stopped watching. Couldn’t stand it. And I wasn’t being proud, I wanted to watch, but it was physically difficult.

Looks great!!

Hated the old floor, new one looks great, but I wanted to give you props for the quote.

 

[House 2]

Can't wait to see it in person!

 

[BTChamp]

Looks great. Just wish there was a way to do it without the advertising. Thankful for the contributions and I don't know how else to get their name out there, so I get it. Just nostalgic.

 

[goldengophers]

Huge improvement, just missing dribbling Goldy.

And just like that, the post count on the basketball board dropped 20%. Now what are we going to talk/complain about?!

 

[Bobek]

The bland white court was difficult to watch on TV. Wonder who made the original decision on the white court. Expensive mistake but D1 athletics department budgets are unlimited.

 

[golden_girl]

“Williams Arena” used to be printed there, not “Cambria Court.”

 

[golden_girl]

The last few years it also said “The Barn” in cursive.

 

[nooram]

So it will be referred to as "Cambria Court at Williams Arena?"

 

[leftyslefty]

Glad the bleached court is history. Changing our best!

 

[forever a gopher]

Personally, I didn't mind the "white" court color in person. But as others have said, on TV, it really washed out and was distracting. Not nearly as distracting as Oregon's court, but few things are.

 

[HopHead]

Thank God. I always felt like the previous one was painted with leftover paint from an Iowa St. project.

 

[Bad Gopher]

So it will be referred to as "Cambria Court at Williams Arena?"

I suppose.

Cambria is evil.

 

[row19gopher]

They may be evil, but obviously their sponsorship has helped Gopher Athletics - the new floor looks very nice. I didn't mind the "white floor" in person, but it was tough to watch on tv.

 

[goldenboy]

Evil? Do tell.
Best countertop decision we ever made.

 

[Full Speed Ahead]

How much did we get from Cambria for those logos? I'm thinking we could all chip in on Kickstarter and outbid them for a "Hey Dennis Evans, Come to Minnesota" logo...

... actually, if Cambria did something like that, a "Hey Dennis..." with the footer "from your friends at Cambria", it'd get them far more positive spin than the logo they're using.

Love the stuff the marketing/media department have been putting out more recently, but FOR THE LOVE OF DOG! Never fly over the Block “M” upside down so it looks like a w.

Seen it a couple of times and it makes me irrationally angry.
