My only complaint is that the "paint" is hardwood colored. I appreciate a little color in that area. Other than that, good stuff. They also got the 4th tooth colored in.

Of note, on the Support the Panthers website, the "McLeod Center Upgrades" has moved from "New Projects" to "Existing Projects." Makes sense, since the four major points of that were:- Upgrade the banners
- Upgrade the floor
- Get a hanging video board
- Upgrade the alumni suites

Everything on that list is attainable in the next 5 years or it wouldn't be on there.
A Center Hung Video/Score Board would improve the atmosphere in there 10-fold the minute its up. I know its something Rick really wanted when they built the place but he just simply ran out of money. It's actually pretty amazing how nice of a facility we have with the amount of money spent on it. The practice facility is going to cost more than the arena did. We give Rick crap for spending like a drunken sailor on leave but on this project he did a hell of a job.#MACtion

Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."

I saw that, looks sharp. I wonder if one of those is in our future. From what I read its been going over the BB court, but can be installed on its own over the concrete. Seems like a lot of schools are having their VB teams play in facilities other than their main arenas, and in those cases they often have those dedicated VB floors.

Also would like to know if players had a preference on playing on a Taraflex floor (like ISU and Creighton are getting), vs. playing on wood.
