Sweet 16 Game on UNI's new floor

Re: Sweet 16 Game on UNI's new floor

I could be totally wrong but I think I've heard from a couple people that the floor they had before the current one was bought by Young Arena.

If my memory is correct the floor before the current one was the first wooden floor in the UNI-Dome and was on extended loan from McElroy Auditorium. Part of getting Eldon Miller to come to UNI was we needed a wooden floor, instead of the tartan floor we had been using, which was built into the original UNI-Dome floor.

That's it! I knew it was in Waterloo, just couldn't remember if it was Young or McElroy. Thanks 99.

Sweet! UNI's getting a new floor.

I will miss the old floor. Remember a practice where I watched a fellow cheerleader tumble and then pee on the half court line when she pulled out her back tuck....no joke whatsoever...one of the funniest moments I had on that floor in college!

BTW, it was at a practice of course.

That is awesome. I'd buy a square foot of the old floor.

Excellent! Okay Panther faithful --- when you storm the court, everybody take a piece and bring it back. We can help save a few $ on the shipping costs.

Re: Sweet 16 Game on UNI's new floor

Wow! we have to have some signs that have something to do with this being our court, No one wins on our court, etc.

We finished the season without a blemish on our home court let's not change that!

Re: Sweet 16 Game on UNI's new floor

So this game in STL will literally be a home court advantage to us.

The only changes I would make to the new court design, are possibly removing the basketball design on the free throw circle, and then making the Valley log in the lane purple and gold instead of red. And maybe make the midcourt logo a little big bigger, but not obnoxiously big like WSU, Illinois State, or Kansas.

Do we just hitch it up to the bus before we leave town? I mean it's already elevated so it shouldn't take much to throw some wheels under it.

Re: Sweet 16 Game on UNI's new floor

Please please, do not paint some god-awful paint scheme on it for next year. I really really hope they stick to the same design for the most part.

Heck, if we win a couple of games this weekend, I say don't bother repainting it. Let it serve as a constant reminder of what was achieved on it.

Should really change the title to Sweet 16 AND ELITE 8 Game on UNI's new floor!

Re: Sweet 16 Game on UNI's new floor

I would go with a big obnoxious Panther head in the middle. Let people know where they are.

Also, the lanes need to be purple with the Valley logo in gold.

I would LOVE to have an opportunity to get a piece of the old floor, it'd look great next to my square of turf from the dome.

Re: Sweet 16 Game on UNI's new floor

I think we should give our old floor to the team that gets UNI's hand me downs (aka Iowa State)
