Historic floor for sale.

Cut those 4X8 sections in half to 4X4 squares and sell them for $50 each, raise $25K. Current bid is $5K. Have to allow each to display some UNI symbol and info, rather than disallowing it. Since it would be sold as souvenirs/mementos, not to be used as a whole floor, that should not be a problem.

Definitely a big opportunity here for someone with the right space, tools, and know-how.

Market 1/2 to UNI fans and 1/2 to Michigan State fans (at 2x the price).

MSU qualified for the Final 4 on that wood.

So I'm gonna go ahead and assume that the funding for the new floor came in, right?

[clenz]

The funding was never not there.

I'd definitely buy a piece of that floor for $50.

And sell each section with a nice framed letter of authenticity that tells the history of the floor.

I looked through the auction terms and see as a condition of sale that all logos (including UNI and NCAA, etc. ) must be removed before reusing or selling. It is a great idea for a fundraiser by reselling floor but would be massive undertaking to come into fruition.

Yeah, I saw that. I thought a separate letter of authentication (with a big UNI logo on it) would make a nice supplement to the floor itself with the logo removed.

If someone can afford to buy the floor, cut it up, and make it presentable for a man-cave, etc. they can also afford the licencing agreement to add UNI/NCAA logos, or partner with a business that already has a licencing agreement.

Has anyone seen/heard what the new floor will be like?

[clenz]

I haven't, but I hope it's like this

[Blue42]

State of Iowa in middle of court like the football field is a FANTASTIC idea.

[sevelev711]

This is what it'll look like. Kind of lame, tbh. Gona miss the odd colored mid range.
